Essential Pre-Operation Checks

Before using any mobile lift – whether it's a scissor lift, straight boom lift, or articulated boom lift – operators must conduct thorough inspections:

• Check hydraulic systems for leaks
• Verify all safety devices are functional
• Inspect tires/wheels for proper inflation and condition
• Test platform controls and emergency descent
• Ensure guardrails are secure

Safe Operating Procedures

When operating mobile lifts, follow these critical safety measures:

Special Considerations by Lift Type

Scissor Lift Safety

For scissor lifts, particular attention must be paid to:

• Stability on solid, level surfaces
• Overhead clearance when moving
• Wind conditions (max 28 mph/45 kph)

Boom Lift Operation

Both straight boom lifts and articulated boom lifts require:

• Proper outrigger deployment
• Slow, controlled movements
• Clear communication with ground personnel
