25 foot scissor lift
Twenty five ft in listings usually means a 19 ft platform with about 25 ft working height [5.79 m platform and about 7.62 to 7.85 m working height]. We show both figures on every spec.
This guide explains the 25 ft working height class with dual units and trusted examples.
Search term to spec map
| Search term | Platform height | Working height |

| 25 ft scissor lift | 19 ft [5.79 m] | about 25 ft [about 7.6 to 7.8 m] |
Core specs you can expect
| Spec | Typical figure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Platform height | 19 ft [5.79 m] | Raised platform height |
| Working height | about 25 ft [about 7.6 to 7.8 m] | Platform height plus reach |
| Width | 30 in or 32 in [0.76 m or 0.81 m] | Both families exist |
| Stowed length | about 6 ft to 6 ft 2 in [about 1.83 to 1.88 m] | Platform retracted |
| Stowed height rails down | about 64 to 69 in [about 1.63 to 1.75 m] | Folding or quick fold rails |
| Platform size | about 2 ft 6 in by 5 ft to 6 ft [about 0.76 m by 1.52 to 1.83 m] | Deck slide about 35 in [about 0.9 m] |
| Capacity | about 500 lb [227 kg] | Indoor rating on most models |
| Weight | about 2,900 to 3,300 lb [about 1,315 to 1,500 kg] | Options change weight |
Door fit and maneuvering
Thirty in models can pass some 32 in doors if hardware allows. Most sites use 36 in doors where both 30 in and 32 in units pass. Lower the rails to near 64 to 69 in [about 1.63 to 1.75 m] to clear an 80 in door. Inside turning radius is often zero.
Floor loading example
Use the plate and spec sheet. Two checks matter. Maximum wheel load at the most loaded tire. Occupied floor pressure under the full footprint with people on board.
Example values from a current sheet. For a 30 in model tire load max is about 1,460 lb [662 kg]. Tire contact pressure is about 162 psi [1,118 kPa]. Occupied floor pressure is about 284 psf [13.6 kPa]. For a 32 in model occupied floor pressure is about 244 psf [11.69 kPa].
