When it comes to scissor lift skirting, you have several options.
Fold width varies from 3” to 1.5” in 0.5” increments. 3” is the most economical and also the most common. Some skirting situations require smaller fold widths due to allowable measurements. These smaller fold widths add some to the cost of the skirting because of the increased number of folds to reach the requested height.
The convolutions, or folds of the skirting, can be mounted “outside” of the lift deck or “inside” the lift deck. When they are outside the lift, the scissor lift table deck is used as the I.D. dimension of the skirting. When the folds are inside, the scissor lift table deck is used as the O.D. of the skirting. In all cases it is important to make sure the I.D. of the skirt will not interfere with any part of the interior of the lift.
Maintenance ties are used the hold the skirt at the top of the lift in cases where the inside of the lift needs access. These are sewn into the top panel and utilize snaps to function.
If your Lift Table Bellows has an installation situation that requires the skirt to wrap around the scissor lift in order to be installed, the Velcro corner is the answer. The skirting will come with one corner that can be split and re-attached after installed if this option is selected. This is needed in situations where there is no way to slip the accordion skirting over the deck of the scissor lift. Once re-attached, the Velcro corner of the lift bellows still retains its strength.
