Custom Equipment Upgrades Low-Level Scissor Lift
Custom Equipment has upgraded its Hy-Brid HB-830 low-level scissor lift with a longer platform to give maintenance crews and contractors more space for tools and supplies.
The all-purpose lift has a capacity of 500 pounds so users can load the platform with a generous amount of materials, helping reduce trips to reload the lift. The lightweight unit also features a zero turn radius for easy maneuverability in confined spaces. It allows users to perform work such as drywall, electrical and HVAC at heights up to 14 feet.
The HB-830’s platform is 25.5 inches wide and 55.75 inches long – nearly 9 inches longer than the original model. It can provides working space for two people. It also features a 30-inch slide-out extension with a capacity of 250 pounds and is supported by the lift’s midrail, which eliminates jamming associated with traditional rollers.
The HB-830 features dual front wheels that help distribute the machine’s weight and provide lower wheel loads. Paired with its lightweight design, the unit is able to work on delicate flooring, including tile, laminate, raised floors and mezzanines, with much lower potential for damage. Users also can get onto poured concrete several days sooner than with heavier models.
