Scissor lift fear
So recently got a new job going from residential work to commercial carpentry. Not doing carpentry at all but putting together steel structures. My issue is we have a scissor left which extends 25ft and has a 90lb tip over rating at full height. I’m not scared of heights but more scared of tipping this thing over because I have to use tons of horizontal pressure and lunging to get steel members to move. I tried testing this with putting a scale on a wall and pushing it and I could easily get to 90lb + without even really trying. Anyone got some advice for working on these? How stable are they? The use is on flat concrete and I’m sure it’s more than stable enough but damn is it sketchy. Ours is a ES2632
