Custom Equipment, Inc. / Hy-Brid Lifts

Custom Equipment LLC, an industry leader in high-quality, low-level access equipment, announces the next generation of Hy-Brid Lifts to better align with individual user needs. The line is being divided into three series – the Push-Around Series (PA Series), Pro Series (PS Series) and Zero-Turn Series (ZT Series) – to simplify the selection process. This includes a number of safety and productivity enhancements to the existing products, as well as the introduction of two new models: the PA-1030 and ZT-1630.

Custom Equipment's Hy-Brid Lifts self-propelled low-level scissor lifts give contractors lightweight, high-capacity alternatives to mast lifts and taller scissor lifts. Custom Equipment designed the units to enhance productivity. They are compact yet their platforms provide ample space for tools and supplies, minimizing trips up and down to reload, while low wheel loads allow users to maneuver onto delicate flooring with minimal risk of damage. 

An affiliate of Stratford-Cambridge Group (SCG) has acquired Custom Equipment. Founded in 1981 as a welding and fabrication business, Custom first developed lifts for the cemetery and mausoleum markets which evolved into a full product range of scissor lifts and aerial work platforms for the construction and industrial markets featuring an electric drivetrain, low weight and high maneuverability.

With Custom Equipment’s Hy-Brid HB-1430 low-level scissor lifts, contractors and maintenance technicians can complete nearly any project at working heights up to 20 feet. In addition, the all-purpose lifts allow end users to handle jobs that include multiple applications from start to finish in industries as diverse as construction, drywall, electrical, HVAC, industrial manufacturing, painting and plumbing.

The HB-1430 is a compact, lightweight scissor lift that weighs 1,650 pounds with a rated load capacity of 670 pounds. Units include a two-person, 25-inch by 60-inch platform, with a 30-inch slide out deck extension. The HB-1430 has a mere 27-inch lowered platform height and has 20 feet of platform working height.
