Whether you need to ship a single electric scissor lift to a local job site or transport multiple heavy duty equipment lifts internationally, our company is equipped to handle both domestic and global scissor lift shipping.
The delivery time for a scissor lift depends on the distance, the transportation method (such as ground, ocean, or air), and the specific route. Moving a lift across the state will be much faster than shipping it overseas. We provide accurate, reliable shipping estimates when you contact us for a quote, allowing for careful planning to ensure your equipment arrives at its destination when you need it for construction or other work.
