The battery electric  Scissor Trolley provides effortless movement and lifting of loads. The drive wheels are positioned in the centre of the trolley making it easy to steer. This also means the load is centred around the drive wheels which is critical when taking loads across sloping ground. Forward and reverse drive speed is variable via ergonomically placed thumb controls. Top speed can be overridden by a separate control. Other features include emergency stop, reversing beeper, key lockable on/off, battery use indicator and a motor engage/disengage lever.
