Hy-Brid Lift HB-1230 Scissor Lift Offers Big Opportunities in Small Package
Low-level access lifts continue to be popular due to growth in new construction, renovation, maintenance, and industrial applications. Users' need for safety and productivity are also helping raise the popularity of the agile little lifts that are so compact they can even maneuver into some service closets.
Although North American laws do not yet say that contractors cannot use ladders in construction, Justin Kissinger, marketing manager for Custom Equipment, which makes Hy-Brid brand lifts, says that many are turning to low-level access lifts as a safer and more productive way to work at low height.
Custom Equipment was the lone manufacturer to exhibit a low-level scissor lift at the Lift and Access Showcase, which took place in October 2014. The company brought its Hy-Brid HB-1230, a 12-ft. scissor that is compact, maneuverable, and light enough to operate in tight spaces and on finished flooring, yet rugged enough to work in construction and industrial applications.
