Scissor lifts are a type of aerial work platform (AWP) used to provide temporary access to high, inaccessible areas, primarily for maintenance, construction, warehousing, and logistics applications. They operate through a crisscrossing metal support mechanism (like a pair of scissors), which expands and contracts to raise or lower the platform vertically. With increased demand for safe, efficient, and flexible material handling and elevated work platforms, scissor lifts are gaining traction across industrial and commercial sectors.
The global scissor lift market was valued at USD 3.40 billion in 2023 and grew at a CAGR of 7% from 2024 to 2033. The market is expected to reach USD 6.68 billion by 2033.
