Scissor Lift Operator Certification Toronto - Regulations within North America typically recommend that operators of scissor lifts, booms or aerial work platforms all receive operator certification. Scissor lift operator certification is not mandatory, but there are benefits to making sure that this training is offered to all operators.

Scissor lift refers to a platform which moves vertically to be able to allow personnel to reach high levels. Scissor lifts are designed along with a pantograph - connected, folding supports in an 'X' pattern. Upward movement takes place when pressure is applied to the outside of the lowest set of supports, propelling the work platform vertically by lengthening the 'X' pattern. A bridge extends from some platforms in order to allow convenient access to the work site.

The platform returns to the ground by release of a manual valve. The platform descends through simple release of pneumatic or hydraulic pressure. This is the main reason that scissor lifts are the best machinery at worksites.
