The world of powered small / mini scissor lifts are being brought to a wider audience, as their safer, more ergonomic qualities compared to more conventional working at height solutions are becoming realised.
Electric or hydraulics drive for the mini scissor lifts?
Advances in technologies are also making these scissor lift platform more viable in terms of cost and the environment. Electric drive is becoming a mainstay of the industry, although hydraulics are still an option. Lithium batteries are playing an increasing role too, however, as a universal solution this is still some way off.
Given the business nature of small scissor lifts, being considered a commodity, the high cost impact of electric drive or a lithium battery packs on one side, the long amortization and the risky business on a rough construction site, on the other, voids immediately all obvious advantages of using a lithium-ion battery pack.
Optional on DIG-DOG mini electric scissor lifts are traction batteries, and there is increasing demand for maintenance free batteries from its customers in countries with high labour costs.
The models are completed with proportional lift, drive and steer and efficient speed control of the power pumps. DIGDOG is currently offering small scissor lifts with a choice of hydraulic or electric drive, so that the customer can decide the requirement for their application.

It can be easily pushed when stowed between work areas and carried in a passenger elevator. DIGDOG is now researching the new 4m platform height mini scissor lift segment, with the intention of adding this to its line of electric small scissor lifts.
Direct electric drive offers many benefits to users of DIGDOG small scissor lifts, such as increased efficiency delivering longer duty cycles and reducing the risk of hydraulic oil leaks when working in sensitive areas.
