R Series Scissor Aerial
Working Platforms
RS0406 – RS1212
Safe, Efficient & Versatile Elevated Access Solutions
The SINTO R Series, supplied by Sinto Material Handling, provides reliable electric scissor lifts for warehouses, factories, construction sites, commercial facilities, logistics centres and industrial environments — across South Africa and the wider African market.
Designed for Safe Elevated Working
Working at height requires equipment that provides operators with a stable working platform, controlled movement and appropriate safety systems.
The SINTO R Series incorporates several safety features designed to help protect operators during lifting, travelling and lowering operations.
The platform incorporates an automatic pothole protection system that engages when the platform is raised. The descent protection system also incorporates a controlled pause as the platform approaches the ground, helping reduce the risk associated with rapid lowering near ground level.
The machines are also equipped with emergency-stop controls at both the platform control unit and ground control panel.
In the event of a hydraulic pipe failure or leak, the safety system is designed to help maintain the platform's position rather than allowing uncontrolled movement. An emergency lowering system is also provided so that the platform can be manually lowered in the event of a power failure or emergency.

Key Product Features
The RS0406–RS1212 range combines electric operation, compact dimensions, smooth proportional control and advanced operator safety features.
Electric Powered
Low-emission, quiet operation ideal for indoor and controlled industrial environments such as warehouses, manufacturing facilities and commercial buildings.
4 m to 12 m Lift Height
Broad range of working heights from approximately 4 metres through to 12 metres maximum lift height across the product family.
230 kg to 460 kg Load Capacity
Platform load capacities ranging from approximately 230 kg to 460 kg depending on model, providing flexibility for operator plus tools and materials.
Proportional Control
Full proportional control allows smoother lifting, lowering and travelling movements for precise positioning around machinery, racking, lighting and other work areas.
Compact Manoeuvrability
Tight turning capability with zero inside turning radius, allowing effective manoeuvring in confined working areas.
Non-Marking Tyres
Solid rubber non-marking tyres help reduce the possibility of leaving marks on finished flooring — ideal for indoor environments where floor condition is important.
