A high lift scissors jack has three sets of scissor members. Each set is joined to the adjacent sets at the corners using connectors which maintain the base and the platform parallel as the structure extends and retracts. The connectors have angularly spaced pivots and the pivots have shoulders which provide lateral support to the ends of the lever arms. The scissor sets are joined to a support base and a platform by similar transition assemblies. The transition assemblies each include a pivoted strut for each set of scissor members. The strut has its base pivotally mounted on the support base or platform and its opposite vertex connected to the end of the scissor set. Extension and retraction are performed by rotating the support base struts about their base pivots.
