How to Calculate Scissor Lift Length

The length of a scissor jack lift is proportional to the support weight of the scissors as well as the integrity of the steel cross sections over the length. The scissor structures length and weight are corollaries, meaning that the former determines the latter for scissor jack stability. An extreme instance of this to illustrate the point will be a 20-foot lift length that is featherweight made from Styrofoam which is pretty much weightless. It definitely could not support at much of a height and would not be able to support much at all.



In order to calculate the length of a scissor lift, determine how high in the air you require to support a platform that will support of the weight of the objects and occupants on the platform along with the weight of the platform.



To be able to reach the required height within the weight support parameters, the number of cross sections of scissor folding supports sections that would be necessary to be extended at their full extension. Finally, you will never want to ascend a few workers up on a platform with their supplies that is on a platform supported by any kind of unstable structure since obviously any type of machine which is susceptible to tipping would put individuals in a very dangerous situation.



Determine the weight of each and every scissor cross-section. This is very important to determining the length and weight of the scissor lift you will require along with the overall stability of the machine. When completely extended, determine the angle between the horizontal or ground level against the scissor arms measured.
