scissor lift
Extending work platform
A scissor lift is a platform that raises and lowers on a crossed-brace mechanism resembling scissors.
The crisscrossing metal supports extend to lift the platform and compress to lower it.
Used in construction, warehousing, and maintenance work to elevate workers and equipment to heights that ladders can't safely reach: We rented a scissor lift to paint the gymnasium ceiling.
