Scissor Lift with Collapsible Rail

Scissor Lift with Tip-down Guard Rails

Aircraft fabricators presented an unusual requirement to allow drilling and riveting machines to move freely around and over their product. Storage space was also a problem in the work area. LPI, Inc. design engineers worked closely with the company and designed a pneumatically powered personnel scissor lift with guardrails that could be collapsed to create a lower profile during storage. Workers are now able to complete their work without moving or repositioning the lifts. The low collapsed height allows machines to pass over the lifts, in addition the lifts are easily stored when not in use.
