Description

The Type A Scissor Lift is a custom electrically actuated scissor lift for pure vertical lifting applications. A very compact and versatile, low profile lift system consisting of active scissors lifts, passive stabilizing scissors, custom rolling bases, and custom scenic lids. Lifting motion is driven by a rigid chain (Serapid) system. The precision servo control allows for exact synchronization of multiple lifts moving in groups. The ultra-quiet lifts eliminate the noise, spillage, drift, and imprecision issues associated with hydraulic lifts.
