Overview
The Autoquip Series 35 Double Wide is an industrial scissor lift table engineered for applications that require a wider platform and higher end load ratings than standard single‑scissor configurations can provide. Two complete scissor mechanisms are mounted side by side to create a wider base frame, giving the lift improved load stability and the structural capacity to handle heavier, wider loads that need to be transferred over the ends of the platform.
Standard models offer travel ranges from 24 to 60 inches with load capacities from 4,000 to 24,000 lbs. Platform widths extend up to 96 inches on the largest configurations, and collapsed heights start as low as 6.5 inches. The dual side‑by‑side scissor design also delivers significantly higher end load ratings—up to 22,000 lbs on select models—making this the right choice when loads are wheeled, conveyed, or rolled on and off the ends of the platform under their own weight. 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 wide configuration provides its core advantage through platform width and end load capacity. By placing two scissor sets side by side rather than end to end or stacked vertically, the lift gains a dramatically wider platform while maintaining the same low‑profile collapsed height as a standard Series 35 model. This wider platform gives operators more room to work with oversized loads, multiple parts, or wide assemblies that would not fit safely on a standard‑width scissor lift table.
The dual scissor design also doubles the end load rating compared to a standard single‑scissor lift. This is critical in applications where heavy loads roll on and off the platform via conveyors, wheeled carts, or powered transport equipment. Chrome‑plated, 100,000 psi ultimate‑strength pins at every joint deliver premium load strength and long service life. Single‑piece, steel‑reinforced legs and a 1/4‑ to 3/8‑inch‑thick steel platform make for extremely solid construction with minimal deck deflection across the wider surface area.
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, and Autoquip backs every Series 35 Double Wide with an industry‑best 2‑year warranty on all parts.
Safety and Compliance
The double set of scissor legs provides enhanced load stability and worker safety during lifting operations. 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 Wide serves applications where standard‑width scissor lift tables cannot accommodate the load footprint or do not provide sufficient end load ratings. Common uses include receiving and dispatching wheeled carts, AGVs, or powered transport equipment where loads roll on and off the platform ends, wide‑format parts assembly and disassembly that requires extra platform room for multiple components or fixtures, heavy work positioning for oversized workpieces that extend beyond standard platform dimensions, and conveyor integration where wide loads transition between the lift and adjacent conveyor lines. The enhanced end load rating also makes the Double Wide well suited for applications involving pallet jacks, powered tuggers, or other wheeled devices that transfer significant weight across the platform edge during loading.
Selection Assistance
Choosing the right double wide scissor lift table depends on your required platform width, end load rating, load capacity, and travel range. For applications that need extended platform length rather than width, the Series 35 Double Long arranges two scissor sets end to end for long‑load handling. For applications requiring higher vertical travel, the Series 35 Double High stacks two scissor sets for travel up to 120 inches. The Double Wide is the best choice when your operation needs the widest platform and highest end load ratings.
