The SC Series scissor lifts from ARAS Developments FZE give safe, stable access for work at height, indoors or out. They are used across maintenance, construction, manufacturing, electrical and petrochemical work, anywhere people need a steady platform rather than a ladder. The range spans compact units for tight indoor jobs up to taller models for bigger reach.
The line covers a spread of working heights and platform sizes, so you can match the lift to the job instead of hauling an oversized machine to a small task.
Key Features of the SC Series Scissor Lift
A model for the job. The SC Series runs from the compact SC05-06 through the SC08 and SC08-10 models up to the SC10-16, covering a wide span of working heights, platform extensions and chassis widths, including narrow versions for tight aisles.
Built for hard sites. Frames and platforms are reinforced to take daily site use, and non-marking tyres protect finished floors while shrugging off debris, so the same lift works on a clean warehouse floor or a rough yard.

Electric & Battery-Operated Scissor Lifts
ARAS supplies self-propelled electric, battery-operated scissor lifts for sale and rent in the UAE. Because they run on a 24V battery rather than an engine, they produce no exhaust fumes and operate quietly — ideal for indoor work in warehouses, shopping malls, hospitals and other occupied facilities where diesel platforms are unsuitable. Battery operation also keeps running costs low and maintenance simple.
Choosing the Right Scissor Lift Working Height
The right scissor lift depends mainly on the working height you need and the load you must lift. The ARAS range spans maximum working heights of 8.1 m, 10 m, 12 m and 16 m, with safe working loads of 230–320 kg and platform sizes up to 2.41 m × 1.25 m (see the specification table above). As a guide: 8–10 m suits warehouse racking, stock picking and indoor maintenance, while 12–16 m suits high-bay warehouses, facade and ceiling work, and larger installation jobs.
Scissor Lift Applications Across the UAE
Scissor lifts — a type of aerial work platform (AWP) — are used throughout the UAE for warehouse stock handling and order picking, facilities and building maintenance, retail and mall fit-outs, signage and lighting installation, and construction finishing work. Their vertical lift and stable platform make them safer and faster than ladders or scaffolding for repetitive work at height.

What is the difference between a scissor lift and an aerial work platform?
A scissor lift is a type of aerial work platform (AWP) that raises its platform vertically on a scissor mechanism for working at height.
How much does a scissor lift cost in the UAE?
It depends on the working height, platform capacity, power type, and whether you buy or rent. Compact electric scissor lifts cost less than tall, high-capacity models, and renting spreads the cost over a short project. ARAS prepares a written quotation against your required height and duty cycle, so you pay for the specification you actually need rather than a fixed list price.
