Overview
About the 19ft Tracked Scissor Lift Hire – Almac Athena 850BL
The Almac Athena 850BL is a 19ft crawler (tracked) scissor lift with proactive bi-levelling — it self-levels the platform on slopes and uneven ground while the rubber tracks spread load on soft or delicate surfaces. 7.9m working height, 5.9m platform floor, 250kg basket (2 operators), 1.50m x 0.78m basket. Full-electric drive option; Direction-Control and Easy-Drive systems.
Where it works
Best-fit jobs and sites
- Sloping and uneven ground, landscaping and grounds work, soft or sensitive surfaces, access where self-levelling is needed.
Good to confirm: Tracked repositioning is slower than wheeled. Confirm surface rating. An online listing cannot replace a site assessment, so tell us the job and we will confirm suitability.

Delivery, access and running
Delivery is quoted by suburb, site access and transport requirements. Tell us the tightest access width on site if the machine must pass through gates, doorways or between structures.
Licence and competency: Scissor-type EWP. No high-risk work licence required in NSW; EWPA Yellow Card (SL) accepted competency.
Hire period: Hire runs from delivery or pickup until off-hire is confirmed. Rates are quoted for your dates, suburb and machine together; see our hire terms for responsibilities during the hire.
Charging this machine
- Batteries
- Electric (220V 2.2kW pump option)
- Our fleet guidance
- Charge overnight (about 8 hours) from a standard outlet for a full day's work. Runtime depends on battery condition, drive distance and lift cycles. Ask us if your job runs long shifts.
- Confirm a live, accessible power outlet near where the machine parks each night. A machine left away from power starts tomorrow flat.
- Plug in at the end of every shift, not "when it gets low"; opportunity charging at breaks helps on heavy days.
- Charge in a ventilated area and keep the charger connections dry.
Pre-start checks, every day
Every Equip Hire machine is function-tested before delivery, and every operator still checks the machine before each shift. This is the baseline we use; the machine's own logbook and check sheet govern.
Walk around
- Tyres, wheels and structure: damage, cracks, leaks
- Scissor stack / boom, pins and hoses: no visible damage or hydraulic leaks
- Decals, capacity plate and rails in place; gates close properly
- Work area: overhead power lines, holes, slopes, other traffic
Power on
- Battery state of charge: enough for the shift
- Ground and platform controls both operate correctly
- Emergency stop and horn work from both stations
Function test
- Raise, lower and drive at low height before working
- Emergency lowering: know where it is and that it works
- Tilt / overload alarms not showing faults
Any fault: tag it out and call us on 0472 721 234. Do not operate a machine with a known fault. Based on manufacturer pre-start requirements and SafeWork NSW guidance.
Before it arrives
- Measure the route, not the door. Every gate, corridor and lift on the way to the work area: handles, hinges, bollards and stored materials all eat clearance.
- Plan the track path. Tracks are gentle, but confirm pavers, lids and irrigation lines on the route can take the machine's weight.
- Clear the work zone. Overhead services, sprinkler heads and light fittings at working height; exclusion for people below.
- Delivery space. Room for the truck to stop and unload safely. Tell us about docks, driveways and height limits when you book.
- Power point. A live outlet near overnight parking, so every day starts charged.
Mistakes we see weekly
- Booking on ceiling height instead of the actual task height. Measure to the work, then add nothing "just in case".
- Quoting the nominal door size instead of the clear opening. An 820 mm door leaf are not 820 mm once the door stop is counted.
- Assuming the machine can cross "a bit of lawn". Wheeled machines rut turf and bog in soft ground; say so and we'll send tracks.
- Leaving induction and permit requirements to delivery morning. Shopping centres and managed sites need paperwork before the truck arrives.
