Vertical Mast Lift

Vertical mast lifts and mobile scissor lifts are both types of aerial work platforms. While their functions are similar, their lifting mechanisms differ. Vertical mast lifts use a single vertical mast (or column) for lifting, with the work platform attached to the mast. Lifting is achieved through a telescopic system (the mast consists of multiple extendable sections). The extension of the vertical mast is driven by a hydraulic system.
The work platform of a vertical mast lift moves vertically with minimal horizontal displacement. The mast extends straight upwards without significant side-to-side swaying.
Compared to other self-propelled lifting platforms, vertical mast lifts are narrower and have a smaller footprint. They are very flexible and can pass through doorways and narrow spaces, making them ideal for working in confined areas (such as warehouses or narrow aisles).
Vertical mast lifts are generally very stable in the vertical direction, but due to their smaller base, their stability may be less than other types of lifts in windy conditions or when raised to their maximum height (usually within 10 meters). Scissor lifts, on the other hand, can reach lifting heights of up to 18 meters.
