The scissor lift, or lift dump, is a truck bed that lifts vertically above the cabin of the truck. It can be used for many purposes and is a favorite among hunters and outdoor hobbyists for its unique capabilities.

Scissor lifts can operate in two modes: dump and lift. Dump is just like a regular dump truck, where the bed lifts up from the cab-side, and can be used to easily dump its contents behind the truck. Lift is a function that elevates the bed straight up, vertically, into the air. It can be used to load goods to and from commercial loading docks, and also as a platform for working on higher areas that are hard to reach otherwise.
