Scissor lift is a platform which vertically moves in order to allow personnel to reach high levels. Scissor lifts are designed with a pantograph - linked, folding supports in an 'X' pattern. Upward movement occurs when pressure is applied to the outside of the lowest set of supports, propelling the work platform vertically by lengthening the 'X' pattern. A bridge extends from some platforms to allow convenient access to the work area.

The platform returns to the ground by release of a manual valve. The platform descends through simply releasing the hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. This is the main reason that scissor lifts are the best machine at worksites.
