Diesel Scissor Lift

When you need to work outdoors on rough, uneven, ground our diesel scissor lifts are the large working platforms you can count on.

With maximum working heights of 21.5 metres, our diesel MEWPS are the go-to when you need to reach impossible heights in highly intensive environments.

Many of our models come with on-board power generators to power small hand tools and extending decks for extra space for workers and equipment. We also have electric-diesel hybrid units that keep fuel and emission costs low.

When you rent diesel scissor lifts from Sunbelt Rentals, you're getting a group of machines engineered to help you do your most efficient best. Our fully serviced and maintained diesel scissor lifts are available to hire from our national network of depots. Wherever you are, we will deliver the next day.
