Compact one-person mast lifts for tight indoor spaces — light enough for finished floors, narrow enough for a standard doorway, with zero tail swing so they work hard against a wall. Some carry a jib for up-and-over reach past racking and plant.

No machine in this category matches that filter.
A vertical mast lift is a one person machine on a small footprint. It is the right answer for light, repetitive work at height in tight indoor spaces where a scissor lift is more machine than the job needs.
Measured across the machines currently available for hire in this category. Where a specification is not recorded we leave it out rather than estimate it.
Counted from the machines listed below, each one currently available to hire.
Platform height plus about 2 m for a person on the platform. Indicative, and not a safe working limit.
The platform floor at full elevation. The feet figure in a machine name is this one.
How far out from the machine the platform will work, at the capacity the manufacturer states for that position.
Measured across the machine. Add a working clearance before comparing it to an opening.
What the floor, the ground and the trailer have to carry.
People, tools and materials together.
Downloadable from each machine page for your SWMS.
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.
Rates exclude GST, delivery and the damage waiver. 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.
The three things that decide whether a machine can actually do your job, answered before you get to the quote form.
Finished slab and sealed indoor floors. These are light machines on non marking tyres, which is what makes them suitable for retail and commercial floors during trading.
The smallest footprint in the fleet, which is usually the reason it is chosen. Confirm the clear opening and the platform capacity: these machines carry one person and hand tools, not materials.
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 5.65 to 10 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 vertical mast lifts we hire is 5.65 to 10 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.
Recorded machine width runs from 770 mm to 1000 mm. That range covers the 3 of 4 machines here with a verified width; the others are not yet recorded, so they may be narrower or wider. The narrowest recorded width clears a standard 820 mm doorway, and we confirm any machine 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.
Between 782 kg and 2720 kg. 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 200 kg to 227 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.
19ft electric scissor lifts are $295 per week, which works out at about $59 per day across a five day week. Excludes GST and delivery. Rates exclude GST, delivery and the damage waiver. The final figure depends on hire duration, delivery suburb and machine availability, so every quote is priced on the job.
Tell us the job, the working height and the suburb. We will recommend the right machine and quote delivery with it.
