Self Propelled Scissor Lifts for Effortless Vertical Access
Boost warehouse productivity and empower operators with precise control for safe lifting and lowering of items from elevated areas.
The Challenge in Height Access
Warehouses face significant operational and safety challenges when accessing elevated areas. The absence of specialised equipment forces facilities to rely on traditional methods that create multiple hazards and inefficiencies.
Common Problems Faced:
- Safety hazards presented by manual ladder access like slipping, tripping and falling with serious consequences.
- Reduced picking speeds and throughput due to time traveling between storage locations and climbing up and down to access different height levels.
- Significant limitations in maximising vertical storage spaces efficiently due to restricted height range when using ladders.
Avcon Self Propelled Scissor Lift: The Smart Solution
Avcon’s self propelled scissor lifts eliminate the challenges of working at elevated areas. This advanced material handling solution removes any work delays and manual effort that goes into pushing machines around. This ensures operator comfort, focus and leads to seamless workflows. Designed for proper space utilisation these lifts bring mobility, safety, and productivity together in one compact powerhouse.
How Avcon’s Self Propelled Scissor Lifts solve the Height Access Challenges?
- The lifts feature stable, enclosed platforms with multiple protective features like emergency stops at both platform and ground control pendants, allowing operators to halt movement instantly.
- Avcon’s self propelled scissor lifts have spacious platforms accommodating multiple items, tools and scanning equipment simultaneously, reducing the number of trips required to fulfil orders.
- Lift heights of up to 14 meters, vastly exceeding the 6-8 meter safe range of ladder access. This means warehouses can now store items across their full ceiling height fully utilising their vertical space and dramatically increasing storage capacity within existing footprints.
- With lift heights upto 14 meters, Avcon’s self propelled scissor lifts enable warehouses to fully utilise vertical space for storage capacity.

Working of Self Propelled Scissor Lift
Avcon’s Self Propelled Scissor Lift is a sophisticated material handling machine. It uses electric power, hydraulic mechanisms, and intelligent control systems to ensure safe and efficient vertical access. The base vehicle drives on its own wheels, while the scissor arms extend vertically in a stable X-pattern structure.
How it Works:
- The operator simply stands on a platform and uses a joystick or push button controls to precisely control movement and elevation.
- Electric motors drive the lift forward and backward smoothly.
- Hydraulic cylinders extend the scissor arms, lifting the platform vertically with stability.
- Advanced safety sensors and automatic brakes maintain steadiness at any height.
- The platform stays level even on moderately uneven surfaces.
- To lower, hydraulic fluid is gradually released back to the reservoir, ensuring a safe and controlled descent.
Key Features of Self Propelled Scissor Lift
- Fully Electric Motorised Operation and Drive System
Fully electric brushless motor, proportional AC drive, and rear wheel differential for smooth acceleration, precise speed control, and enhanced manoeuvrability. - Control Systems
Dual 2-point control pendants for platform and ground-level operation, with the platform pendant including a real-time battery discharge indicator. - Safety Features
Dual emergency stop controls on platform and ground pendants, fail-safe hose burst technology, external outriggers for stability, and an emergency lowering system for power failure situations. - Height and Capacity
Impressive maximum height of upto 14 meters provides access to multi-story facilities, high warehouse racking, building maintenance applications, and overhead infrastructure work. - Front Wheel Hydraulic Braking
Delivers reliable stopping and holding at height while ensuring consistent performance and smooth, confident operation. - Solid Rubber Tires
Non-pneumatic tires ensure smooth outdoor movement and eliminate the risk of punctures and flats while providing stable ground contact across both indoor and outdoor surfaces. - Industry Applications
Serves multiple industries, including textiles, pharmaceuticals, rubber, e-commerce, logistics, paint, food processing, FMCG, and government facilities for high-access operations and maintenance. - Indoor and Outdoor Versatility
Fully electric, zero-emission operation suits enclosed facilities, while solid rubber tires and robust build support outdoor and industrial applications.
Advantages of Self Propelled Scissor Lift
Before (Traditional Methods)
- Manually reposition equipment or lower and raise platforms repeatedly, resulting in time-consuming operations.
- Errors, reworks and operational delays, reduction in workflow quality due to the need to manually move up and down repeatedly.
- Risks of falls, equipment failure and workplace injuries due to the use of ladders, scaffolding, or forklifts for height access.
- Traditional methods limit the amount of equipment, tools, and personnel that can safely be lifted, restricting work scope consuming time and risking load drops or instability.
- Difficulty in deploying traditional lifts or scaffolds in densely packed warehouses or construction sites.
- Traditional systems lack safe emergency lowering mechanisms, delaying rescue or evacuation in power failure situations.
After (With Self Propelled Scissor Lift)
- Built in propulsion systems allow operators to drive the lift while staying on the platform, saving considerable time and boosting operational efficiency.
- Operators can adjust their position finely using proportional controls, reaching exact locations quickly and safely, improving workflow quality.
- Advanced safety features such as emergency stop buttons, guardrails, overload protection, fail-safe hose burst technology, and anti-tip outriggers dramatically reduce the risks.
- Robust scissor lift structures support heavy loads and multiple personnel securely, maintaining platform stability throughout elevation and ensuring faster operations.
- Compact design and narrow turning radii allow self-propelled scissor lifts to navigate tight aisles and confined spaces safely.
- Emergency lowering and fail-safe safety features ensure operators can be safely lowered even during power outages.
