Mobile Scissor Lift Table

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe use, operation, and maintenance of mobile scissor lift tables. The maximum rated capacity must be prominently displayed, and these tables are not to be used as mobile work platforms or for standing on. Pre-use checks include inspecting bolts, nuts, pivots, and the hydraulic system for leaks, ensuring the table raises and lowers freely, and verifying that the path of travel is clear of obstructions.

Operational precautions emphasize not exceeding the table's rated capacity, keeping loads centralized and secure, and avoiding raising loads higher than necessary while traveling. Care must be taken when turning corners with elevated loads. Wheels should be locked during loading and unloading, and all body parts must remain clear of the scissor structure during operation. Maintenance tasks involve regular inspections of hydraulic and mechanical systems, replacing faulty components, and ensuring brakes and castors function properly. These guidelines ensure safe and efficient use of scissor lift tables.
