Do not Attach Banners to Scissor Lifts

Many scissor lifts are specifically designed for indoor use only with zero wind. Even outdoor machines may be at risk of being blown over when elevated in high or gusting winds.

Scissor lifts are not designed to hold banners. Attaching banners to a scissor lift will increase the surface area and create a "sail board” effect which will destabilize or potentially turn over a MEWP.

Please consult with the manufacturer or your rental company before attaching banners or advertising billboards to any scissor lift or boom lift.
