The slope capability of a Self-Propelled Scissor Lift is determined by several factors, including:
1. Drive System and Power
Motor Type: Electric or hydraulic motors with higher torque improve climbing ability.
Wheel Drive: 4WD models handle slopes better than 2WD.
2. Weight Distribution
- A lower center of gravity improves stability on inclines.
- Evenly distributed weight prevents tipping or skidding.
3. Tire Type and Traction
Larger, treaded tires improve grip on inclines.
- Non-marking tires on smooth floors have less traction than rough-terrain tires.
4. Platform Load and Position
- A fully extended platform raises the center of gravity, reducing slope capacity.
- Heavier loads can shift balance and limit safe operation on inclines.
5. Chassis Design and Stability Features
Wheelbase length: Longer wheelbases improve stability.
Tilt Sensors & Safety Systems: Prevent operation if the slope exceeds the safe limit.
6. Manufacturer's Rated Gradeability
- Expressed as a percentage (e.g., 25% gradeability = 14-degree incline).
- Determines how well the lift can drive but not operate on slopes.
