Scissor Lifts are designed with a series of crisscrossing linked supports. The pressure should be applied to the outside of the lowest set of supports in order for the unit to elevate into the air. This process elongates the crossing pattern that vertically propels the unit. If the machine is hydraulically or pneumatically powered, lowering of the platform could be done by easily opening a valve in order to release the pressure.

The rough terrain models are specifically outfitted with more dependable and stronger tires that run by diesel or gas engines.
