Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts For Sale

Rough terrain (RT) scissor lifts handle the work an electric slab lift can't — dirt, gravel, mud and slopes. Four-wheel drive, foam-filled tires, hydraulic outriggers and 1,000–1,500 lb decks make them the standard for outdoor construction.

Overview

A rough terrain scissor lift mounts the same vertical scissor mechanism on a heavy 4WD diesel (or dual-fuel) chassis. Models like the Skyjack SJ8841 RT and SJ9250 RT, Genie GS-3369 RT and JLG 4394 RT are the workhorses of outdoor commercial and industrial construction.

RT lifts trade indoor friendliness for jobsite durability: foam-filled non-flat tires, four-wheel drive (often with positive traction), hydraulic outriggers for full-height stability on uneven ground, and platform ratings up to 1,500 lbs so you can lift a stack of material to the deck.

Global Solutions Equipment is an authorized dealer for Skyjack, Genie and JLG. Every rough terrain scissor lift for sale ships with the current annual ANSI inspection, OEM operator and service manuals, and nationwide parts support.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 4WD diesel or dual-fuel scissor lift built for outdoor construction — foam-filled tires, hydraulic outriggers and heavier 1,000–1,500 lb deck ratings.
How much grade can a rough terrain scissor lift climb?
Most 4WD RT lifts climb a 35–45% gradient stowed and operate at full height on slopes up to 3 degrees with outriggers deployed.
What heights are available in rough terrain scissor lifts?
Common platform heights are 26, 33, 40, 46 and 50 ft — including the Skyjack SJ8841 RT and SJ9250 RT.
