Electric scissor lift hire from 777 Hire covers battery and bi-energy platforms from a Genie 7.8m up to a Dingli Electric 22m, built for indoor fit-out, racking and maintenance. Running on battery power, they are quiet and emission-free, the natural choice inside occupied buildings, and non-marking tyres protect polished, tiled and sealed floors. Narrow models such as the Dingli Narrow Electric slip through tight aisles, and they need firm, level ground. 777 Hire supplies these electric scissor lifts to businesses across the UK on IPAF 3a.

Electric Scissor Lift Hire
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose an electric scissor lift over a diesel one?
Electric scissor lifts run on battery power, so there are no fumes and far less noise, the reason they’re the standard choice indoors. Diesel machines are for outdoor sites and rough ground. If you’re working inside an occupied or enclosed building, electric is the one you want.
Can an electric scissor lift be used indoors?
Yes. They’re designed for it. Zero emissions keep the air clean, non-marking tyres protect finished floors, and narrow models fit through standard doorways and aisles for fit-out, racking and maintenance.
What platform heights are available for electric scissor lift hire?
Our electric and bi-energy range covers Genie 7.8m, 10m, 11.5m and 12m, Genie Bi-Energy 12m and 14m and Electric 14m, and Dingli Electric and Narrow Electric 22m. Remember working height is about 2 metres above the platform, so tell us how high you need to reach and we’ll spec the right machine.
How long does the battery last on an electric scissor lift?
Fully charged overnight, most machines give a typical working day of around 6 to 8 hours, though it varies with load and how much you drive and lift. They recharge from a standard supply, so you start fresh each morning with no refuelling.
Do electric scissor lifts have non-marking tyres?
Yes. Non-marking tyres come as standard, so they won’t leave black marks or damage polished, tiled or sealed floors. That’s part of what makes them suited to retail, warehouse and office environments.
What ground do I need for an electric scissor lift?
Electric slab scissor lifts need firm, level ground such as a concrete floor or finished slab. They’re not built for soft or uneven outdoor terrain. For rough ground outdoors you’d want a diesel rough terrain machine instead. Tell us your site and we’ll match it.
How much weight can an electric scissor lift carry?
Most platforms carry between around 230kg and 500kg, covering one or two people plus tools and materials. Each machine is marked with its safe working load, and we’ll confirm capacity before you hire.
Do I need IPAF training to hire an electric scissor lift?
Working at height is regulated, so anyone using them should hold IPAF category 3a for scissor lifts. You’ll need to make sure whoever uses the machine holds a current IPAF 3a certificate.
How quickly can you deliver an electric scissor lift?
