custom-equipment-hb-1230The HB-1230 zero-turn-radius scissor lift by Custom Equipment offers lifting capabilities for projects on delicate flooring. An alternative to mast lifts, the 18-foot working height lift allows increased maneuverability in confined spaces.

The unit’s 30-inch-wide by 55-inch-long platform can hold 550 pounds, and features an extension that adds nearly 29 inches of length, allowing users to lift more tools and supplies. Weighing 1,610 pounds, the machine has dual front wheels to help distribute its weight. Th counter-rotating wheels reduce friction so users can maneuver over tile or carpeting without marking or causing tears.

Other equipment on display: Hy-Brid HB 1430.
