Scissor lifts are pieces of machinery with platforms that operators stand on to access various heights. Unlike other types of aerial lifts that can move horizontally and vertically, scissor lifts can extend only vertically. A scissor lift's base is connected to its platform with a series of crisscrossed supports that expand and contract to raise or lower the platform. The lifts are moved throughout a workspace with a control system that is usable on or off the lift's platform.
The GS-1930 can rise to a maximum height of 25 feet. At this height, the operator can move the lift at a rate of only less than 2.5 miles per hour. When completely retracted, the lift can move at a rate of up to 4 mph. The roll-out platform extension on the GS-193 can extend to a length of 36 inches. The lift can safely lift a total of 500 pounds.
The GS-1930 features a deck platform made out of solid steel that offers a slip-resistant surface. Guardrails are also made out of steel. The controller on the lift can be operated from the ground or on the platform. The GS-1930 is fitted with nonmarking, solid rubber tires and features dual rear-wheel disc brakes.
