Hazard

The manufacturer has identified a potential weakness in a weld on the scissor lifts. They have provided a kit which should be fitted to the scissor lift. The manufacturer has issued instructions to avoid using the lift with a load exceeding 3.5 tonnes until the kit has been fitted. While awaiting the fitting of the kit a 4.5t lift catastrophically failed with a load of 2.5t. This product does not comply with the Supply of Machinery Regulations 2008.

Remedy

End users should stop using the scissor lift immediately until the manufacturer’s kit has been fitted. Contact Tecalemit Garage Equipment on 01752 219100 to arrange supply and installation of the kit.
