19ft figures are exact for our fleet. All other figures are typical for the class and vary between makes and models — approximate, verify per machine before you commit to a doorway, lift or trailer.
| Model | Width | Stowed length | Stowed height | Weight | Working height |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19ft electric | 0.79m | 1.9m | 1.98m | 1,520kg | 7.77m |
| 26ft narrow | 1.17m | ~2.4m | ~2.4m | ~2,450kg | ~9.9m |
| 26ft electric | ~1.17m | ~2.3–2.5m | ~2.4m | ~2,600kg | 9.92m |
| 32ft electric | 1.17m | ~2.4m | ~2.5m | ~2,870kg | 11.68m |
| 40ft electric | 1.2m | ~2.9m | ~2.6m | ~3,175kg | 13.85m |
| 32ft RT | ~2.2m | ~3.9m | ~2.6m | ~4,100kg | ~11.7m |
| 53ft RT | ~2.34m | ~4.9m | ~3.0m | ~7,150kg | 18.1m |
All non-19ft figures approximate — verify per machine when you book. We run JLG and Haulotte across a fleet of 65+ machines, and dimensions differ slightly between brands.
A standard Australian single door leaf is about 820mm clear. The 19ft at 0.79m wide and 1.98m stowed fits — with millimetres to spare, so remove the door stop if it’s tight. Everything 26ft and up (1.17m+ wide) needs a double door, roller door or open access. Height matters too: the 19ft slips under a 2.1m header; bigger machines usually won’t.
Two checks: car dimensions and rated load. The 19ft’s 1.9m length and 1,520kg weight ride in many goods lifts and some larger passenger lifts — but confirm the lift’s capacity plate first. From 26ft up, weight (2,600kg+) rules out most lifts, so plan for the machine to work from the level it’s delivered to.
12ft and 19ft scissors can travel on a suitable braked trailer — we hire trailers for $75 with those sizes. Check your tow vehicle’s braked rating against roughly 1,520kg of machine plus the trailer’s own weight. Everything larger goes by truck: our transport is $165 each way (≤50km) for electric scissors and verticals, $180–$240 for rough terrain machines depending on size — see rates.
If the access is tight but you need more than the 19ft’s 7.77m, the 26ft narrow at 1.17m wide is built exactly for that gap — $150/day on the scissor hire page.
The 19ft electric at 0.79m wide. It’s the only machine in the fleet that fits a standard single doorway, which is a big part of why we run 27 of them.
Stowed height is measured with rails up. Many models let you fold the rails to drop under low headers — tell us the clearance and we’ll confirm for the exact machine.
The 19ft’s 0.86m slide-out extension adds usable deck at height but doesn’t change the stowed footprint for access — it retracts for travel.
19ft $100/day, 26ft and 26ft narrow $150, 32ft $165, 40ft $200, RT machines $200–$350, all ex-GST. Full breakdown in the cost guide.
Give us the gap and the height you need — we’ll name the machine that fits, free, in 60 minutes.
