Introduction
In Singapore's dynamic industrial and construction environment, different types of scissor lifts ensure safe, efficient access at height. This article explores the price landscape in the Singapore market—focusing on four categories: Mobile Platform Lifts, Towed Mobile Scissor Lifts, Self-Propelled Electric Scissor Lifts, and Crawler Scissor Lifts—and positions Tuhe Lift, an innovative manufacturer, as a competitive player.
Singapore Market Pricing: Scissor Lift Types & Estimates
Here’s an overview of currently advertised prices in Singapore, based on market listings:
Lift Type | Example Model & Year | Approx. Price (SGD, excl. GST) |
---|---|---|
Self-Propelled Electric | Genie GS 2632 E-Drive (2025) | S$27,850 (excl. 9% GST) |
Self-Propelled Electric | Genie GS 3246 E-Drive (2025) | S$32,800 (excl. 9% GST) |
Self-Propelled Electric | Genie GS 4655 E-Drive (2025) | S$53,000 (excl. 9% GST) |
Self-Propelled Electric (Used) | Genie GS 1930 (2016) | S$11,500 |
Self-Propelled Electric (Used) | Skyjack SJ III 3219 (2014) | S$9,500 |
Self-Propelled Electric (Used) | Aichi SV06DNL (2014) | S$6,500 |
Notes:
Mobile Platform Lifts and Towed Mobile Scissor Lifts are often unpowered or towable units; listings of such in Singapore are limited, suggesting these categories may require inquiry for quotes.
Crawler Scissor Lifts—specialized, track-based units—are seldom listed directly in the Singapore market. Manufacturers like Cathaylift outline specs (4–14 m heights, 200–450 kg capacity), but prices require Cathaylift quotation.
Rough price benchmarks: Electric scissor lifts generally fall in S$10,000–30,000; rough-terrain units can range S$40,000–80,000+; diesel versions may reach S$50,000–100,000.
In many cases—especially for your Tuhe Lift models—quotes are quote-to-order, allowing flexibility based on specification, customization, and delivery.
Technical Factors Influencing Pricing in Singapore
Understanding components that drive cost helps frame Tuhe Lift’s value proposition:
Platform Height & Load Capacity
Larger models (e.g., 14 m working height) command higher prices.
Higher load capacity (e.g., 450 kg vs 230 kg) increases structural and hydraulic demands.
Type & Mobility
Self-Propelled Electric Lifts (wheeled, battery-powered) are priced mid-range and popular for indoor/outdoor use.
Crawler Scissor Lifts add complexity with tracks and robust systems for rough terrain—pricing is inherently higher but offers exceptional mobility.
Powertrain & Energy Source
Electric lifts offer indoor-compatible, emission-free operation, often the most cost-effective.
Hybrid/Diesel units, especially for rough terrain, are more expensive due to added mechanical systems.
Brand, Certification & Quality
Established international brands like Genie may carry premium pricing but offer recognized quality.
Certification (CE, SGS) also adds value and compliance assurances.
Condition & Availability
Refurbished units offer significant cost savings.
Inventory availability and lead times can affect pricing for new units.
Customization & Service
Specialized requirements (attachments, OEM branding, remote features) incur higher costs but deliver better tailored value solutions.

Technical Highlights: Tuhe Lift Product Catalog
1. Mobile Platform Lift
Structure: Fixed vertical frame with scissor mechanism, manual or electric hydraulic system.
Best Use: Indoor warehouses, retail, low-rise maintenance.
Advantages: Compact footprint, lower cost, minimal maintenance.
Limitations: Requires external towing or manual movement if not self-propelled.
2. Towed Mobile Scissor Lift
Structure: Scissor mechanism mounted on a trailer chassis, towed by a vehicle.
Best Use: Facility maintenance across multiple sites, outdoor lighting installation.
Advantages: No self-propulsion system → lighter weight, simpler maintenance.
Limitations: Setup time and dependency on towing vehicle.
3. Self-Propelled Electric Scissor Lift
Structure: Battery-powered traction with hydraulic lift system; joystick control.
Best Use: Indoor/outdoor flat surfaces, logistics centers, industrial plants.
Advantages: Zero-emission operation, tight turning radius, quick repositioning.
Limitations: Limited to firm, level ground; runtime dependent on battery capacity.
4. Crawler Scissor Lift
Structure: Rubber track undercarriage with reinforced scissor lift; diesel/electric/hybrid options.
Best Use: Uneven terrain, construction sites, slope access.
Advantages: High stability, low ground pressure, superior traction.
Limitations: Higher purchase cost, more complex maintenance.
Buyer’s Guide: Choosing the Right Scissor Lift in Singapore
Step 1 — Define Operational Height & Capacity Needs
Rule of Thumb: Select a lift with at least 1–2 m more than your highest working point.
Factor in load requirements (tools, materials, operators).
Step 2 — Match Mobility Type to Worksite
Indoor flat surfaces: Mobile platform or self-propelled electric.
Multiple locations: Towed mobile scissor lift.
Outdoor rough terrain: Crawler scissor lift.
Step 3 — Consider Power Source & Runtime
Electric: Quiet, clean, suitable for enclosed spaces.
Diesel: Higher torque, suitable for open sites.
Hybrid: Flexible for mixed environments.
Step 4 — Evaluate Compliance & Safety Features
Look for CE, SGS certifications (all Tuhe Lift products comply).
Essential safety systems: tilt sensor, overload protection, emergency descent.
Step 5 — Assess Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Purchase price + delivery + warranty + service support.
Tuhe Lift offers 1-year warranty, 7-day delivery, and one-stop service, reducing downtime and lifetime costs.
