A scissor lift that weighs 1000 pounds? I’ve never seen one that tiny

This one is 849 pounds. But your point is taken...this small automotive one wouldn't be found on a job site.

Whenever I have rented ones about the size of the one they dropped they are heavy enough that if all you have is an F 150 size truck (1/2 ton pickup) the rental yard will not even hook up the trailer. F 250 is minimum truck size to tow one. This implies about a 4000 lb minimum weight.
