  • Scissor deck access arrangement
    Patent number: 10829355
    Abstract: A lift device includes a chassis, a platform disposed above the chassis, a lift assembly coupling the platform to the chassis and configured to move the platform between a lowered position and a raised position, and a stair assembly coupled to at least one of the platform and the chassis, the stair assembly including a first step and a second step. The platform includes a deck defining a top surface configured to support an operator. The stair assembly is selectively repositionable relative to the chassis between a stored position and a deployed position. The stair assembly facilitates access to the deck from the ground when in the deployed position.

  • Scissor deck access arrangement
    Patent number: 10336596
    Abstract: A lift device includes a chassis, tractive elements, a platform including a deck, a lift assembly, and a stair assembly. The lift assembly is configured to move the platform between a lowered position and a raised position. The stair assembly is coupled to at least one of the platform and the chassis and includes a first support and a second support extending parallel to one another. The stair assembly is repositionable between a stored position and a deployed position and facilitates access to the deck from the ground when in the deployed position. The first support extends farther outward horizontally than the second support relative to the chassis when the stair assembly is in the deployed position. The first support extends farther outward horizontally relative to the chassis when the stair assembly is in the deployed position than when the stair assembly is in a stored position.
