    As someone who uses scissor lifts a lot, I wish the manufacturers standardized on one way. Some have you push the joystick forward to descend, others will raise the platform when doing the same. I’ve damn near smashed some things in the ceiling going the wrong way for a second.

      that seems like an actual safety concern that should have been regulated long ago, wtf

      I count myself lucky to have only used a scissor lift from one manufacturer and I still have to check the control panel every time. And even then I screw it up sometimes.
