Choose Between Scissor Lifts, Boom Lifts, and Aerial Work Platforms
Start by matching the lift to the site. Electric scissor lifts are best for compact indoor access and straight vertical lift. Rough-terrain scissor lifts provide a larger work platform for outdoor jobsites. Towable boom lifts are useful for lighter elevated access, while articulating and telescopic boom lifts are better when crews need outreach, obstacle access, or higher exterior reach.

Common use cases
Indoor Maintenance and Installation
Electric scissor lifts are a practical choice for ceiling work, lighting, HVAC, electrical tasks, painting, inspections, and facility maintenance on smooth indoor surfaces.
Warehouse and Commercial Building Work
Use elevated work platforms for overhead access in warehouses, retail spaces, schools, offices, industrial buildings, and commercial properties where ladders may not provide enough workspace.
Exterior Construction and Renovation
Boom lifts and rough-terrain scissor lifts support exterior access for construction, siding, cladding, glazing, signage, painting, repairs, and renovation work.
Outdoor and Rough-Terrain Jobsites
For gravel, unfinished ground, sloped areas, or active construction sites, rough-terrain aerial lifts are usually a better fit than indoor-only equipment.
Jobs That Need Reach Around Obstacles
Articulating and telescopic boom lifts help crews access elevated work areas when the job requires horizontal reach, up-and-over access, or positioning around structures.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a scissor lift and a boom lift?
A scissor lift moves mainly straight up and is a good choice when crews need a stable platform for vertical access. A boom lift offers horizontal reach and is better when the work area is hard to access, higher up, or blocked by obstacles.
When should I rent an electric scissor lift?
Electric scissor lifts are commonly used indoors on smooth, level surfaces for ceiling work, lighting, HVAC, electrical, painting, inspections, and warehouse maintenance.
What type of lift is best for outdoor work?
Outdoor jobs often need rough-terrain scissor lifts or boom lifts, especially when the site has gravel, unfinished ground, slopes, or construction activity. The right choice depends on the surface, height, reach, and workspace required.
What is the difference between an articulating boom lift and a telescopic boom lift?
An articulating boom lift is useful for reaching up and over obstacles. A telescopic boom lift is better when the job needs more direct outreach and higher exterior access.
Is a man lift the same as an aerial lift or elevated work platform?
“Man lift” is a common term people use for several types of aerial access equipment. Depending on the job, it may refer to a scissor lift, boom lift, towable lift, or another elevated work platform.
How do I choose the right working height?
Start with the highest point you need to reach, then consider whether the job needs straight vertical lift, horizontal reach, compact indoor access, or rough-terrain capability. Contact our team if you are unsure which lift fits the job.
Can elevated work platforms be delivered in Ottawa and Gatineau?
Delivery and pickup can be coordinated across Ottawa, Gatineau, and nearby communities depending on the equipment, rental schedule, site address, and access requirements.
