How to Calculate Scissor Lift Length

The length of a scissor jack lift is proportional to the scissor support weight along with the integrity of the steel cross sections more than the length. The scissor structure's weight combined with the length is corollaries of each other; thus, the former determines the latter for scissor jack stability. An extreme example of this to show the point will be a 20-foot lift length which is featherweight made from Styrofoam which is pretty much weightless. It definitely will not be able to support at much of a height and will not be able to support much at all.



Determine how high in the air the platform would be lifted to determine or calculate the scissor lift length needed to support the weight of both occupants and objects on the platform in relation to the platform's weight.



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



Determine the weight of every scissor cross-section. This is very important to determining the length and weight of the scissor lift you will need in addition to the overall stability of the machinery. When entirely extended, determine the angle between the ground or horizontal level against the scissor arms measured.
