Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Used Boom Lift
Is it safe to buy a used boom lift?
Yes, when purchased from a reputable dealer. Industrial boom lifts are engineered for heavy use and long service lives. The key is verifying that the machine has been properly maintained and that all safety systems — including limit switches, load sensors, and emergency controls — are fully functional. We inspect every unit before sale.
What's the difference between an articulating and a telescopic boom lift?
Articulating booms have multiple pivot points, allowing the arm to bend around obstacles — great for tight or complex sites. Telescopic booms extend in a straight line for maximum reach and capacity, making them ideal for open construction sites or high-reach applications.
Do you have boom lifts available for pickup in Northern California?
Yes. Our lot is in Anderson, CA, just off the I-5 corridor. Buyers from Redding, Chico, Red Bluff, Weaverville, and surrounding areas are welcome to come inspect and pick up equipment directly. We can also arrange delivery within Northern California.
What brands of boom lifts do you carry?
We typically carry JLG, Genie, Skyjack, and Gradall boom lifts, though inventory changes regularly. Contact us or browse our current listings to see what's available right now.
What certifications or inspections do I need after buying a boom lift?
OSHA and ANSI standards require that aerial work platforms be inspected before each use and undergo a formal annual inspection. We recommend having any used boom lift inspected by a certified technician and confirming ANSI/SAIA A92 compliance before putting it into service.
Can I get financing on a boom lift purchase?
Yes. We offer financing options for qualified buyers. Reach out to us directly to discuss what's available and get pre-qualified before you shop.
