Pulling a Scissor Lift - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

06TacomaDouble · 07-03-2007, 04:18 PM

I'll be painting the upper portion of my house this weekend, so I'm renting a 19' scissor lift. It is 2,620 lbs plus the trailer. Should I be aware of anything before I back up to her and pull off with her?

More info on the lift here.

Thanks for any info!

Should have zero problems. I pull my 4800 lb boat.

Yeah you shouldn't have problems. I pulled my company car with a dual axle trailer with my 4 cylinder just fine

Genie Makes some awesome lifts
this one is my favorite

To the OP: You should be just fine, take your time and don't rush. Drive safely

Not the OEM, but a Valley Hitch class III.

Never thought of something like that. I'll check on that also. It may be cheaper.

Cool guys. Thanks for the info.

I operate JLG lifts all the time.

I use a genie lift on one of the jobs I'm on. Awsome piece of equipment. If I had invented that, the thong, and the sawzall, I'd have more money than I know what to do with.

i know nothing about those lifts, but looking at the height to base-size ratio, i'd never get on that thing

I was thinking the same thing. I do know that they have it weighted down just for that purpose.

I doubt it would tip, the fucking thing weighs 44,900lbs

:/

I've never had a problem with the Z-135/70. super stable.

cj99si, I'm glad you brought up one of these. I got to thinking that the scissor lift may not work in the front and rear of the house because of objects being in the way that I cannot move. I called them today and am getting this. The price is $250 a day where the scissor lift was $175 a day, but I think I will be able to get my money out of it. I have some trees that need trimming.

I'm picking it up tomorrow after 5 and have to return it Monday before 9 AM.
