We normally have the customer rent one and use one of their maintenance guys to drive us around, about if they don't have a body to spare we just drive the lift ourseleves. We have never been asked if we were cerified.

Got a certification for business insurance purposes. It saved a few bucks. It was not required by anyone.

Paul, my insurer never mentioned this as a possible savings. I have some clients that are starting to ask about whether we have certifications. From reading the OSHA regs, it appears that there is no "standard" and that we could effectively do our own training and certification, so long as it's documented. Where did you get your certification?

We got our cert through the lift distributer. I think it was about $100 a person. They sent a guy in for a 4 hour training class, then we took one of the dumbest tests I have ever taken. The training guy insisted that it always needs to be lowerred to move it, period.

Well that's a new one! How on earth are you supposed to pull wire through the girders of a plant without moving it in the air? As a safety feature the lifts are designed to only move at a slower speed while the deck is raised. Some scissor lifts even have stabilizer bars that flip down while the deck is up. These side bars take up space between the bottom of the lift and the floor as a safety. This way if you accidentally drive into a hole, it will only bottom the lift out rather than tip. Good feature to look for when you rent.

I always lower it , just makes sense

the weight that high just seems to me to have the potenial to tip
