A hydraulic scissor lift is a type of lifting equipment that uses a hydraulic system to raise and lower a platform or table in a vertical direction. It is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and construction settings for tasks such as lifting heavy loads, accessing high places, and moving materials and equipment.

The hydraulic scissor lift consists of a platform or table that is supported by a scissor-like mechanism made up of interlocking steel arms. When the hydraulic system is activated, hydraulic fluid is pumped into the lift's cylinders, causing the arms to extend and raise the platform.
