Save Time and Money on Aerial Lifts

Make a list of the necessary features required in a lift. Based on the required features, expected service life, operating expense and available budget, decide between new or used aerial lifts. If purchasing a used aerial lift, get a documented inspection and learn as much as possible about where and how the lift was used.

Whether new or used, ask for written warranties, guarantees, and buy-back policies. Make sure that parts and qualified service technicians for aerial lifts are available within a reasonable distance. If buying an aerial lift from an original equipment manufacturer or a broker, explore financing options including leasing and rental.

Aerial lifts are designed to support people and goods safely from the ground to heights of greater than 100 feet.

Boom type lifts have both rise and reach capability, allowing one or two people to work securely many feet above the ground. Scissor lifts and platforms accommodate people and materials. Others are designed for narrow aisles, rough terrain, and single-person operation.
