No machine in this category matches that filter.
A tracked scissor lift spreads its weight along two rubber tracks instead of concentrating it under four wheels, so it puts far less pressure on turf, pavers, garden beds and landscaped ground, and stays narrow enough for domestic side access. Whether a particular machine levels itself on a slope is a model fact, stated on its record.

Platform height plus about 2 m for a person on the platform. Indicative, and not a safe working limit.

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.
The three things that decide whether a machine can actually do your job, answered before you get to the quote form.
Turf, pavers, compacted soil, gravel and slab. Lower ground pressure is the point of the machine: it is the one to consider where a wheeled machine would sink, rut or crack the surface. Tracks reduce marking; they do not guarantee none, and wet ground and turning on the spot are where damage happens. Slopes are limited by each machine's own rating, which we confirm per machine.
Side access to a back yard is the usual test. Measure the narrowest point between the house and the fence, and note any step, gate post or garden edge on the way through.
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 7.8 to 8.8 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.
Written by the people who deliver and service these machines.
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.
Working height across the tracked scissor lifts we hire is 7.8 to 8.8 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.
Verified width: 1150 mm for 1 of 4 models; the others are not yet recorded, so ask and we will confirm the one you are looking at. Every recorded width is wider than a standard 820 mm internal doorway, so plan on a double door, a roller shutter or a wider opening unless we confirm a narrower machine. Measure the clear opening rather than the door frame, and tell us the tightest point on the whole route in.
Between 1820 kg and 2460 kg for 2 of 4 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.
Platform capacity is 230 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.
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.
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.
Tell us the job, the working height and the suburb. We will recommend the right machine and quote delivery with it.
