We’re kidding, but really, lack of maintenance is the quickest way to leaving your scissor lift hard down and in need of some serious TLC.

So, putting the dad jokes aside, here’s our list of the five most common scissor lift problems, and how to solve them.

Common Scissor Lift Problem #1: Lack of Maintenance

Any scissor lift operator needs to inspect their machine before each use. In addition to that basic safety precaution, Quarterly Inspections and Annual Inspections from qualified technicians are key to identifying and addressing critical issues to keep the scissor lift safe to operate

Common Scissor Lift Problem #2: Water Intrusion / Corrosion

“Corrosion is what kills scissor lifts,” OHR Rents Field Service Technician Jeremy Nelson says. “Whether it’s rust on the rails or corrosion on the battery connectors.”

It’s rare to have problems with hydraulic systems, but exposure to water without getting a chance to dry out can lead to bigger problems for scissor lift owners. These issues will typically crop up in connectors on lifts. Water in rails can freeze during winter and split your rail.

Common Scissor Lift Problem #3: Storing the scissor lift outside

Keeping a lift out of the weather goes a long way to keeping it working properly. Storing the machine inside when not in use avoids common problems like corrosion and rust build up. It also helps maintain battery life by keeping battery connectors from getting wet.

In cold-weather, pivot points and hinges can dry out. Skyjack scissor lifts, for example, have a lot of sliding mechanisms. If they are allowed to dry out in the elements, they can stick.

Batteries low on charge can freeze if they are left outside in winter.

Even using scissor lifts outside during winter can be detrimental to their lifespan. Driving around on surfaces treated with salt can allow the salt to get into the machine, rotting materials out.

Common Scissor Lift Problem #4: Battery Maintenance

Scissor lifts can be very useful on construction sites, for renovations and for daily maintenance tasks. With such a long list of jobs that they can be used on, scissor lifts can be run hard. Maintaining the lift’s battery is vital to not only ensure the unit will turn on, but also that the battery lasts as long as its designed for.

Regular charge and discharge cycles are the best way to keep your batteries operating properly.

If you are storing a scissor lift for a long time without using it, be sure to follow instructions to extend battery life. Often, you don’t need to keep the unit charging all the time. Deep-cycle batteries can handle longer periods of time between use best.

Monitoring battery water levels is also very important to maintain battery life. Continual usage of units can lead to low water levels and early failure of the batteries.

Common Scissor Lift Problem #5: Collecting debris on a job site

Allowing screws and other construction and maintenance debris near tires and wheels is a great way to lose your scissor lift to the repair shop.

String and plastic likes to get wrapped around wheels and can even take out seals on drive motors.

Being mindful of what you are driving over and making sure your machine’s wheels don’t pick anything up, goes a long way to maintaining your scissor lift.

Debris can also include paint overspray – if using lifts while painting, working to shield controls and movable parts.

Additionally, keeping your scissor lift’s deck free of debris is important to the longevity of your scissor lift. If you get dirt or nails in your roller when your platform is extended, that can get stuck. Good housekeeping is important to maintaining your scissor lift!

Track skid steers are primarily used for digging, or lifting and moving heavy objects. These light and maneuverable vehicles, sometimes called “compact track loaders” or “multi-terrain loaders,” have rotating tracks and arms that can use attached tools for various construction and landscaping jobs.

The rotating tracks are designed to operate on difficult surfaces including rocky, sandy, muddy, and snowy terrains. The extra ground contact makes them a good choice for jobs where traction is a concern.

Watch this video for a closer look at JCB’s 3TS-8T Teleskid Compact Track Loader (CTL).

Track skid steers are available in vertical and radial lift types. Vertical lift track skid steers are designed to move taller loads and to move loads to spaces not easily reachable with a radial version. The radial lift design has fewer moving parts and works better for digging dirt or leveling ground.

The tracks come in either rubber or steel. Rubber tracks are best used for worksites with noise restrictions, soft surfaces, and flat surfaces. Steel tracks are best for rugged surfaces and for a superior ground grip.

Track Skid Steer uses

Track skid steers are often used for construction, forestry, roadway, and agricultural projects.

They are versatile and can accommodate a number of attachments including augers, buckets, hammers, brooms, trenchers, grapplers, and forks.

Track skid steers can meanuever through and work in tight spaces. They are good for jobsites that need a vehicle with high maneuverability and that can avoid ground damage.

How do track skid steers work?

Track skid steers can essentially “float” over soft surfaces. Their wheels and tracks do not turn, but the left and right sides can be driven separately thanks to their different engines.

If an operator wants to turn the vehicle, they must increase the speed of the tracks only on the side opposite the direction of the turn. The wheels on the inside of the turn will stay on a slower speed, which anchors the tun and causes the vehicle to skid.

Once the turn is complete, the operator can resume having both sides operate at the same speed.

The tracks create a more even weight distribution and increase contact with the ground. This allows track skid steers to have a higher lifting capacity and push more weight without slipping. Some also have increased horsepower, making them better for high-power jobs.

How many hours will a track skid steer work?

Tracks on track skid steers are designed to withstand rough terrain, and can take on a lot of pressure before maintenance is needed. Rubber tracks are expected to last between 1,200 to 1,600 working hours. Steel tracks are determined to last as least two and half times longer.

Some experts say the average lifespan of a skid steer is 5,000 hours.

Diesel-powered excavators are often used for large-scale construction jobs that involve digging up the ground or moving large quantities of earth at one time. 

Excavators are designed to handle a variety of construction projects and can be transformed to be used in other ways. If the standard bucket is replaced with another attachment, excavators can also drive piles, clear brush, load and dump, and perform other heavy-duty tasks.  

These large pieces of construction equipment come in different sizes and are defined by three categories: standard, midi, and mini. 

Standard excavators weigh from 22,000 pounds to more than 200,000 pounds. They are best for moving large amounts of earth at once and heavy lifting projects.

Midi excavators weigh between 13,000-22,000 pounds. These can be used when a jobsite is in a more confined or tight space, but the work requires something more powerful than a mini-excavator.

Mini-excavators weigh less than 13,227 pounds. These smaller machines are best for digging trenches, removing stumps, and helping with minor demolition projects in close spaces.

Watch this video for an overview of the Hitachi ZX890LCR-7s excavator.

Backhoes, or diggers, can often be confused for excavators. The main differences are in size, weight, and function. An excavator can turn 360 degrees and is a very heavy piece of equipment, whereas a backhoe is more like a tractor and can only turn 200 degrees from side to side.

Excavators help to speed up productivity for construction and mining projects. Typically, an excavator can do the job of 20 manual laborers working on the same task.

Excavator uses

A construction job site can use an excavator for a variety of tasks. Some options include mining, digging, landscape grading, roadwork, urban planning, pile driving, underwater tasks, underground jobs, debris cleanup, residential projects, and industrial demolitions.

Different types of excavators are best for specific projects. 

• Crawler excavators run on two large endless tracks and are optimal for mining and heavy-duty construction jobs. They have good balance on uneven ground.
• Wheeled excavators are similar to crawlers except they run on wheels instead of a track. They are faster than crawlers and are easier to maneuver on different surfaces that are stable or flat.
• Dragline excavators use a hoist rope that attaches to a bucket. The other side of the bucket is linked to a dragline that runs from the bucket to the cab. The hoist rope raises and lowers the bucket while the dragline pulls the bucket toward the operator. These are used for large-scale civil engineering projects, such as underwater projects or canal dreading.
• Suction excavators are wheeled with a high-pressure vacuum pipe that can provide up to 400 horsepower. It releases a water jet to break up the ground. The pipe, which contains sharp teeth at the edge, carries away soil and debris up to 200 miles per hour.
• Skid steer excavators have booms and buckets situated away from the operator of the machine. The attachments can reach over the cab, instead of around it, and is best for narrow areas or tight turns.
• Long reach excavators have a 40-100-foot extendable arm with attachments. Operators have more control in hard-to-reach areas. This is very useful for demolition projects.
• Mini excavators are ideal for small spaces and tight corners. These machines are easier to use in indoor spaces or crowded areas and can have little or no tail-swing.  

How do excavators work?

An excavator is made up of a boom, a dipper (or a stick), and a bucket connected to a cab that sits on a rotating station. There are many attachments that can be used in place of the digging bucket including an auger, drill, ripper, or rake.

The excavator’s engine uses diesel and hydraulic power to control the mechanical arm of the machine. It also uses a chain-and-wheel system for its movement. 

The control cabin houses the pedals and levers an operator uses to steer and move forward or backward.

How many hours will an excavator work?

Manufacturers recommend 500 meters of continuous movement for crawler excavators as the limit. After that point, the machine is at risk for excessive wear of the chain plate, fracture of the drag sprocket, and high temperature of the hydraulic system. 

Some manufacturers recommended routine maintenance checks at different lifespan intervals including daily, weekly, every six months, annually, and bi-annually. The typical amount of time hydraulic excavators are taken off primary production is around 10,000 hours. At this point, the machine may need major repairs or replacements.

Telescopic boom lifts can help when working around different angles on crowded job sites. They are best for projects that need extended horizontal and vertical outreach. Telescopic lifts are designed to take their operator straight to their work area. Telescopic boom lifts are available in a range of sizes to provide optimal height and capacity for the job. This Telescopic Boom Lift Guide will show  you how they are used, who makes them, and what models are available to purchase.

Watch this video reviewing the JLG 1850SJ Telescopic Boom Lift:

Telescopic boom lifts are one of the two types of boom lifts available for industrial, landscaping, and construction jobs. They differ from articulating boom lifts since they do not have the same lift arm with multiple sections separated by joints that can move the work platform over and around obstacles. 

Depending on the make and model, telescopic boom lifts can lift personnel or equipment up to 185 feet.

Telescopic Boom Lift Uses

Telescopic boom lifts are best used for projects requiring a high reach, such as working on multistory buildings, or reaching far out at a lower level, such as under bridges. Roofers or workers that need to lift equipment to higher places for stacking may use a telescopic boom lift.

Telescopic boom lifts can be used for a variety of industrial, landscaping, aviation, and construction jobs including:

• Industrial Maintenance
• Electrical Work
• Painting
• Glazing
• Bridge Work
• Industrial inspections
• Tree Trimming 
• Any task that requires access to a multi-story building

How do telescopic boom lifts work?

A telescopic boom lift has a mast that extends in a straight line by using one or more telescoping boom sections. It can be used for a vertical or horizontal reach needed to access an overhead task. The telescoping boom extends quickly, and the lift can be driven with the boom fully extended in some positions.

These models do not offer up-and-over capabilites, and this type of boom lift requires more space to operate than articulating booms. Operators have to be sure to include ample room around the machine’s chassis to make turns and other movements. 

They can be used indoors or outdoors depending on the project. They can be powered with either diesel, gas, electricity or a mix with hybrid power.

How many hours will a telescopic boom lift work?

A boom lift can last up to 30 years with proper care and maintenance.

Generators can be essential for meeting the power needs of construction projects of all sizes. They can be connected to buildings or taken to remote locations to provide electric power on job sites. 

Depending on the project’s needs, generators for sale can be purchased as mobile or stationary units. A diesel generator converts the chemical energy in diesel to electrical energy using a diesel engine and an AC alternator working together. Generators also typically have a fuel tank, control panel, and a radiator. 

Watch this video for a demonstration and overview of the Wacker Neuson G150 generator.

Generators can be used either as the main source of power or as a backup source in case of a power failure. Generators have different ratings based on the application including Emergency Standby (ESP) and Limited Time Power (LTP) for standby applications, and Continuous (COP) and Prime Rated power (PRP) when used as a main source of power. Each rating is limited by the number of hours the generator can run and its load factor.

Diesel engine-powered generators can generate more power than a natural gas engine of the same size. Using a diesel model will also help to cut back on maintenance time, as they do not have spark plugs or carburetors. They typically only need preventive maintenance and refueling to keep the generator running. Also, modern versions of diesel generators run quieter than their predecessors. 

Generator uses

The power from generators can be supplied to buildings, temporary and permanent, and construction machinery that needs electricity to operate. A few things a generator can provide power to on a construction site include:

• Drop lights and large exterior light poles
• Electric heaters
• Electric power tools
• Industrial fans
• Ventilation equipment
• Trailers for office/break room space
• Cabins or other housing for construction workers out in remote locations
• Large construction machinery that needs an external power source for operation

Generators can be used to power large lighting systems for indoor and outdoor projects that require working at night or underground. If it’s an underground project or in areas without proper ventilation, generators can pump breathable air into the space and reduce stale air and exhaust gases. Generators can also power dehumidifiers and electric space heaters.

How do generators work?

A generator uses diesel to operate a motor. The mechanical energy created by the working motor turns into electricity through the process of electromagnetic induction. When this happens, fuel goes into the generator and comes out as an electrical current that can power construction equipment and tools.

High-powered generators can produce between 200kW and 2,500kW of power, which is great for large construction projects such as new building complexes or large-scale road infrastructure projects. Medium-powered generators produce between 5kW and 200kW. These are better used as a power source when building a single home or smaller roadway project. 

Portable generators can provide a range of power levels depending on their size. You may see these at construction sites for new neighborhoods and large multi-story buildings.

How many hours will a generator work? (source)

Many diesel generators have a 24-hour tank, but you can also find diesel generators that last 48 or 72 hours. 

In terms of lifespan, diesel generators can last for at least 15,000 hours to a maximum of 50,000 hours before needing service.
