Scissor lifts

Window cleaning with a scissor lift is similar to using a boom lift, but there are key distinctions to consider. A scissor lift is smaller and lighter, making it suitable for both interior and exterior cleaning.

It is ideal for cleaning windows inside large spaces such as malls or atriums, as well as low-rise buildings and ground-floor windows. Because of its lightweight structure, a scissor lift is best used in areas with delicate surfaces, such as sidewalks with minimal concrete depth, to prevent damage.
