Narrow Scissor Lift Hire Sydney
Slim machines for doorways, corridors and lift cars, from 0.76m wide. Measure the clear opening and the lift car. For tight access where a full-width scissor lift cannot go.
A From $/day figure on a card is a published long-term rate for hires of three months or longer, ex GST. Every other hire, and all delivery, is quoted for the job. Compare every machine side by side.

What narrow scissor lifts are for
A narrow scissor lift exists for one reason: the access is tight. These machines are built for doorways, service corridors and narrow aisles while still reaching working heights a step ladder cannot.
Typical jobs
Access through single doorways (clear opening measured)
Narrow aisle warehouse work
Service corridors and plant rooms
Residential and shopfront interiors
Retail work during trading hours

What hire costs
A starting figure so you can budget before you enquire. The quote is still priced on the job, because delivery suburb, hire duration and availability all move it.
Day hire from $95 per day.
Weekly hire from $295 per week.
Rates exclude GST and delivery. Equip Hire adds no insurance, environmental or hire levies and offers no damage waiver; the hirer is responsible for the machine during the hire, as the hire agreement sets out. The final figure depends on hire duration, delivery suburb and machine availability, so every quote is priced on the job.
The figures customers decide on, side by side. A cell reading "Ask us" means the specification is not recorded for that machine, so we confirm it from the manufacturer sheet rather than print an estimate.

A Confirm mark means the decisive figure is not on that record. Open the machine for the full seven-question panel and its manufacturer sheet; we never guess a specification.
Ground, access and licences
The three things that decide whether a machine can actually do your job, answered before you get to the quote form.
Ground it works on
Finished slab and sealed surfaces. Narrow machines are lighter than the wider classes, which helps on suspended floors, but they are still wheeled slab machines and do not cross soft ground.
Access and the route in
This is the category where the number decides the hire. Measure the clear opening, not the door frame, and tell us the tightest point. We check machine width plus a clearance allowance against that figure before we quote.
Scissor lifts and vertical mast lifts are not boom type platforms, so no High Risk Work Licence applies to them in NSW at any height. Machines in this category reach 6.5 to 11.78 metres working height, and that does not change the answer.
Sites normally require recognised EWP operator training, commonly asked for as a Yellow Card, together with a site induction. The employer is responsible for verifying competency on the specific machine.
We can supply the machine specification sheet and risk assessment for your SWMS, and arrange a licensed operator with the machine if you would rather not operate it yourself.
Our depot is at Berkshire Park in Western Sydney and we deliver across Sydney and throughout NSW. Delivery is quoted with the hire, by suburb, access and the transport the machine needs, so you see one figure rather than a surprise on the invoice.
Tell us the tightest access width and whether a tilt tray can reach a firm, level unloading point.
No machine in this category is currently approved for depot pickup. Approval needs a verified machine weight and a trailer rated to carry it, and where we do not hold both we deliver on our own truck instead of letting a customer find out on the ramp.
Answer a few quick questions about the job, the height, the ground and the tightest opening. We match it against the recorded specifications of every machine we can verify, and show you what fits and what does not.
Answered from the recorded specifications of the machines above and from the rules that apply in NSW, not from a general article.
How high do these machines reach?
Working height across the narrow scissor lifts we hire is 6.5 to 11.78 metres. Working height is where your hands reach, which is about two metres above the platform floor. Platform height is the deck itself, and it is the smaller figure in every specification.
How wide are they, and will one fit through a doorway?
Recorded machine width runs from 0.76 m to 0.82 m. The narrowest machine here clears a standard 0.82 m (820 mm) doorway, and we confirm it against the actual opening you measure. Measure the clear opening rather than the door frame, and tell us the tightest point on the whole route in.
How much do they weigh?
Between 880 kg and 2,434 kg for 9 of 10 machines here; the others are not yet recorded. Weight decides two things: whether the floor or ground carries the machine, and what has to be on site to unload it. Ask us for the figure for a specific machine if a slab rating or a suspended floor is involved.
How much can the platform carry?
Platform capacity is 227 kg to 250 kg, and that figure includes the people on the platform as well as their tools and materials. Where a machine has a deck extension, the capacity on the extension is lower than the capacity on the main deck.
Can I collect a machine myself?
Not in this category. Pickup is only approved where we hold a verified machine weight and a trailer rated to carry it, and no machine here currently meets both. These are delivered on our own truck, with delivery quoted by suburb.
How is delivery quoted?
By suburb, access and the transport the machine needs, quoted with the hire so you see one figure. Our depot is in Western Sydney at Berkshire Park and we deliver across Sydney and throughout NSW. Tell us the tightest access width and whether a tilt tray can reach a firm, level unloading point.
Do you deliver to my suburb?
We deliver across Sydney and throughout NSW from our depot at Berkshire Park. Put your suburb in the quote form and the delivery figure comes back with the hire price, quoted together.
Can I call outside business hours?
Yes. A person answers the phone at any hour, seven days a week, on 0472 721 234. Breakdowns, early starts and changes to a booking can be sorted on the call.
Is there a better rate for a longer hire?
Yes. Longer hires have lower published day rates, shown on the cards above and on our long-term hire page. Shorter hires are quoted for your dates.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The job, the height you need to work at, the delivery suburb and your dates if you have them. A mobile number or an email address is enough for us to send the quote.
What does hire cost?
Day hire from $95 per day. Weekly hire from $295 per week. Rates exclude GST and delivery. Equip Hire adds no insurance, environmental or hire levies and offers no damage waiver; the hirer is responsible for the machine during the hire, as the hire agreement sets out. The final figure depends on hire duration, delivery suburb and machine availability, so every quote is priced on the job.
