You will need more expertise when you purchase a reconditioned machine than when you purchase a new machine. This makes it important to use a licensed dealer who can provide assistance. Machines with wear and tear or needed repairs may be for sale. You should always be sure to carefully examine the machine you are considering purchasing. Additionally, it is wise to have a mechanic who is familiar with the particular make and model complete a thorough inspection.

A mechanic who is familiar with JLG hydraulics should be hired to repair those scissor lift models that include them. One of the top manufacturers of heavy equipment is JLG, with products that include boom lifts and Telehandlers. Even these well made machines require regular maintenance, and parts can wear down if not well kept. All this makes it very important that reconditioned equipment be thoroughly inspected. Worker safety depends on it.

JLG machines, like Genies, feature automatic leveling hydraulic outriggers. A scissor lifts ability to smoothly rise and lower is in part due to hydraulics. It is vital that these hydraulics are in good repair. A scissor lift carries precious cargo including animals, workers, and potentially dangerous cargo.

One of the most useful and practical piece of heavy equipment is the scissor lift. ANCI/OSHA has stringent standards for scissor lifts that must be upheld on all lifts, whether new or reconditioned. This is important to ensure the safely of a machine that lifts workers to great heights and carries very heavy cargo. The hydraulic system of a JLG lift should be kept in good working order, even if it turned off.
