Thanks to the incredible generosity of Chip Wiess of Wiess USA in St. Louis, Hôpital Sacré Coeur’s construction projects just got a whole lot easier and the General Services staff added another skill set to their growing list of professional equipment handling experiences. The Wiess donation of a scissor lift sparked a round of well-deserved applause from the CRUDEM and hospital community.
The compact series DC Electric Scissor Lift by Sky Jack is a low maintenance, easy to operate unit that can close up tightly for space saving storage. Just the ticket for Haiti! Equipped with variable speed, front wheel hydraulic drive and 90 degree turning, HSC’s General Services staff appreciates not only the lift’s versatility but all the hours of labor it will save them.
This dream machine features a 3’ roll out extension deck and works heights up to 25’ and 25 degrees gradeability. Loaded with safety features such as pothole protection, tilt alarm with drive and lift cut-out and audible motion alarm, machine operators and ground crew are well protected from any industrial accidents. When time comes for clean-up, the durable steel swing-out component trays make maintenance a breeze.
