Overview
The Autoquip Series 35 Double Long is an industrial scissor lift table specifically engineered to handle elongated, heavy loads that need to be transferred over the sides of the platform. Unlike standard single‑scissor or double‑high configurations that focus on vertical travel, the Double Long places two complete scissor mechanisms end‑to‑end to create an extended platform length while delivering higher lifting capacities, improved load stability, and superior side load ratings in the lowest profile design possible.
Standard models offer travel ranges from 24 to 60 inches with load capacities from 4,000 to 24,000 lbs. Platform lengths extend up to 212 inches on the largest configurations, making this the right choice for loads that are too long or heavy for a standard single‑scissor lift table. The hydraulic power unit comes prewired and mounted onboard, and installation requires only lagging the unit to the floor and connecting to electricity.
Features and Benefits
The double long configuration provides its core advantage through geometry. By running two scissor sets end‑to‑end rather than stacking them, the lift gains a dramatically longer platform while maintaining an exceptionally low collapsed height—as low as 6.5 inches on select models. This low profile allows loads to be rolled on and off the sides of the platform with minimal ramp height or no ramp at all, which is critical when handling elongated materials like steel stock, sheet goods, or large assemblies.
The dual scissor design also doubles the side load rating compared to a standard single‑scissor lift of comparable capacity. This means operators can safely transfer heavy loads laterally across the platform without risking deflection or instability. Chrome‑plated, 100,000 psi ultimate‑strength pins at every joint deliver premium load strength and long service life. A minimum 1/4‑inch‑thick steel‑reinforced platform minimizes deck deflection across the extended length, and solid steel legs with added stiffeners provide straight, repeatable roller tracking under heavy or uneven loads.
On‑board maintenance devices let crews safely block open the scissors during inspection. A semi‑transparent polyurethane oil reservoir provides clear fluid level visibility, and double wire‑braided Parker hydraulic hoses resist wear, abrasion, and leaks. High‑strength steel rollers are designed for easy replacement to minimize downtime. Autoquip backs every Series 35 Double Long with an industry‑best 2‑year warranty on all parts.
Safety and Compliance
Hydraulic velocity fuses completely stop the lift in the unlikely event of uncontrolled descent from a sudden hose rupture. A minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety makes these lifts among the most structurally sound industrial scissor lift tables available. Each unit complies with ANSI MH29.1 for industrial scissor lifts, NFPA 70 National Electric Code, ASTM A36 structural steel standards, ANSI Z535 safety labeling requirements, AWS D.1 welding standards, and applicable portions of OSHA 29CFR1910 for general workplace safety.
Applications
The Series 35 Double Long is designed for applications involving elongated or oversized loads that cannot be accommodated by standard‑length scissor lift tables. Common uses include lifting and positioning steel beams, tubing, sheet stock, and other long materials for fabrication or welding operations, transferring heavy loads sideways across the platform from conveyors, roller systems, or adjacent workstations, supporting die change and tooling operations where long molds or fixtures must be raised to machine height, vehicle or equipment maintenance where a low‑profile lift must support a long chassis or subassembly, and large‑format assembly lines where the workpiece exceeds the platform length of a standard lift. The ability to load and unload over the sides of the platform makes the Double Long particularly effective in layouts where end access is restricted.
Selection Assistance
Choosing the right double long scissor lift table depends on your required load capacity, platform length, travel range, side load requirements, and the method used to transfer materials on and off the deck. For applications that need higher vertical travel rather than extended platform length, the Series 35 Double High may be a better fit. For standard applications with moderate loads and platform sizes, the base Series 35 single‑scissor model covers travel from 24 to 60 inches with capacities up to 15,000 lbs.
