In this paper we investigate the scaling limit of the range (the set of visited vertices) for a class of critical lattice models, starting from a single initial particle at the origin. We give conditions on the random sets and an associated ancestral relation under which, conditional on longterm survival, the rescaled ranges converge weakly to the range of super-Brownian motion as random sets. These hypotheses also give precise asymptotics for the limiting behaviour of exiting a large ball, that is for the extrinsic one-arm probabililty. We show that these conditions are satisfied by the voter model in dimensions $d ge 2$ and critical sufficiently spread out lattice trees in dimensions $d > 8$. The latter result also has important consequences for the behaviour of random walks on lattice trees in high dimensions. We conjecture that our conditions are also satisfied by other models (at criticality above the critical dimension) such as sufficiently spread out oriented percolation and contact processes in dimensions d > 4. This version of the paper contains details not present in the submitted version.
