AERIAL Boom lifts & scissor lifts

Aerial & Boom Lift Inspection

Boom drift and a missed annual inspection are what get people hurt on aerial equipment. We check the structure, the holding valves, and the safety systems.

Boom and scissor lifts are fall-from-height machines, so the inspection is as much about safety systems as resale value. We check for boom drift, structural cracks, and a current annual inspection, and verify that platform controls and emergency lowering work the way they must.

What we inspect
  • Boom / scissor structure, welds, and wear pads for cracks
  • Hydraulic drift and holding-valve integrity
  • Turntable and swing bearing play (boom lifts)
  • Lift cylinders and pothole-protection bars (scissor lifts)
  • Platform, rotator, rails, and platform controls
  • Ground controls and emergency lowering
  • Battery pack and charger (electric) or engine (rough terrain)
  • Tires, drive motors, and steering
  • Tilt and level sensors / alarms
  • Current annual ANSI/OSHA inspection records
