A vehicle loading scissor lift protected by substantial bollards. This lift is suited for facilities without a loading bank or raised dock. The lift has an hydraulically operated bridging plate, barrier rails and interlocked gates. Roll cages and pallet trucks can both be safely accommodated. Larger lifts will accept man riders and fork trucks. Galvanised mesh curtains restrict ingress of debris to undersides of the platform.
