About this course
Our Aerial Boom Lift Electric Maintenance Training delivers the foundational knowledge required to perform effective preventive maintenance on electric boom lift systems, minimise equipment failure, and ensure full workplace safety compliance. Designed for operators, technicians, and safety managers, this course is a critical component of structured business employee safety training programs — covering everything needed to keep your electric aerial fleet operating correctly.
What You Will Learn:
- Electric Boom Lift Preventive Maintenance Best Practices
- Identifying & Controlling Aerial Equipment Safety Hazards
- Pre-Use and Routine Inspection Procedures
- Extending Equipment Lifespan & Reducing Operational Downtime
Electric scissor lifts are the workhorses of indoor construction, warehousing, and facility maintenance. They run quiet, leave no exhaust, and lift crews to working heights every shift, but that reliability depends entirely on disciplined upkeep of the battery pack, hydraulic system, and scissor structure. This course is designed for the operators and maintenance personnel responsible for keeping those machines ready to work.
You will learn how to carry out the pre-use inspection an operator must complete before elevating, then move into the deeper servicing tasks a shop performs on a schedule: battery charging and watering, hydraulic fluid and hose checks, lubricating and inspecting scissor pins and wear pads, and verifying safety devices like tilt sensors, overload protection, emergency lowering, and pothole bars.
Whether you maintain a single rental unit or a fleet of electric platforms, this training helps you reduce unplanned downtime, extend equipment life, and keep your maintenance documentation aligned with Canadian CSA B354 and provincial OHS expectations.

Course Content
1 lesson- Electric Scissor Lift Maintenance Procedures
What you'll get
Battery-first curriculum
Because electric scissor lifts live and die by their batteries, we go deep on charging routines, watering schedules, terminal corrosion, and end-of-day connect/disconnect habits that protect runtime.
Hydraulic and structural walkthroughs
Step-by-step servicing of the lift cylinder, hoses, fittings, scissor pins, and wear pads so you catch leaks and slop before they become a stuck or drifting platform.
Inspection checklists you can reuse
Practical pre-use and scheduled-maintenance checklists modeled on real shop practice, ready to print or adapt for your own fleet logbook.
Self-paced online access
Complete the full program from the shop, the office, or home on any device, and revisit modules whenever a new tech joins the crew.
Certificate of completion
Finish the course and download a dated certificate to file alongside your equipment maintenance and competency records.
Why choose us
Equipment Tutor is built by Canadian equipment people for Canadian worksites. Our electric scissor lift training speaks the language of the shop floor, focusing on the battery, hydraulic, and scissor-stack realities that actually take these machines out of service.
Every lesson ties back to keeping the platform safe to elevate and defensible on paper, so your maintenance records stand up to a CSA B354 review or an OHS inspection.
Student reviews
Cut our charging-related breakdowns
Half our service calls were dead or sulphated batteries because nobody had a real charging routine. After putting our two yard techs through this, our electric scissors are actually holding a charge through a full shift again.

Clear and to the point
The hydraulic and scissor-pin walkthroughs were exactly what a new tech needs. Easy to follow online and the checklists went straight into our maintenance binder.

Solid maintenance refresher
Good practical content tied to the inspections we already have to log. Would have liked a few more troubleshooting examples, but it covered the core servicing well and the certificate was easy to file.

Frequently asked questions
Who should take this electric scissor lift maintenance course?
It is built for electric scissor lift operators who perform daily pre-use checks and for the maintenance technicians, rental-shop staff, and supervisors responsible for scheduled servicing and repair records.
Does this course also certify me to operate the lift?
No. This program focuses on maintenance and inspection. Operating a scissor lift on a Canadian worksite also requires MEWP operator training and familiarization under CSA B354; this course is the maintenance complement to that.
How is the maintenance different from a diesel boom or rough-terrain lift?
Electric scissor lifts revolve around their battery and charging system and a single hydraulic lift circuit, with no engine to service. The course concentrates on battery health, hydraulics, and the scissor structure rather than fuel, exhaust, or drivetrain systems.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Once you complete all modules you can download a dated certificate of completion to keep with your equipment maintenance and training records.
