Scissor Lift Parts Overview

At Illini Hi-Reach & Time Savers Aerial Lifts, we understand the vital role that scissor lifts play in facilitating work at height safely and efficiently. Maintaining your scissor lift in top condition is crucial, and that begins with knowing about the various parts that keep these machines running smoothly. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of scissor lift parts we support and provide for our valued clients in Chicagoland, NW Indiana, and Southern Wisconsin.

Essential Scissor Lift Components

Hydraulic Cylinders and Electric Motors

These components are at the heart of a scissor lift’s operation. The hydraulic cylinders enable the lifting mechanism, powered by electric motors, ensuring smooth elevation and lowering of the platform.

Control Boxes and Joysticks

Control boxes and joysticks provide the operator with the interface needed to maneuver the scissor lift safely. These components are crucial for precise operation and control.

Platform Components and Scissor Arms

The platform is where the work gets done. Together with scissor arms, these parts provide the structural integrity and support necessary to lift personnel and equipment securely.

Pins, Bearings, and Bushings

These small but essential parts ensure the smooth operation of the scissor lift’s moving components, reducing friction and wear.

Mobility and Safety Features

Wheels, Tires, and Outriggers

Wheels and tires provide mobility, while outriggers offer additional stability during operation. Both are essential for safe and efficient movement around the work site.

Safety Sensors and Emergency Stop Buttons

Safety sensors detect potential hazards, and emergency stop buttons provide an immediate shutdown mechanism in case of danger, ensuring operator safety at all times.

Power and Operation

Batteries and Chargers

Scissor lifts often rely on batteries as a power source, making efficient chargers critical to keeping them operational throughout the day.

Hydraulics Hoses and Fittings

These components are essential for the hydraulic system’s fluid flow, crucial for the lift’s operation.

Maintenance and Support Components

Screws, Bolts, and Lifting Chains

Regular maintenance involves checking and replacing these components as needed to ensure the lift’s structural integrity.

Switches, Relays, and Solenoids

Electrical components like switches, relays, and solenoids are pivotal in controlling the scissor lift’s functions and require regular inspection for optimal operation.

Filters, Gauges, and Indicators

These parts play essential roles in monitoring and maintaining the health of the lift’s hydraulic and electrical systems.

Comfort and Compliance

Seats, Seat Belts, and Stabilizer Pads

Ensuring operator comfort and safety, these components are critical for preventing accidents and complying with safety regulations.

Decals, Labels, and Extension Decks

Decals and labels provide necessary operation and safety instructions, while extension decks offer additional workspace and load capacity.

Lubricants, Fluids, and Other Accessories

Maintaining your scissor lift also means keeping it well-lubricated and supplied with the right fluids, ensuring smooth operation and preventing corrosion and wear.
