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.
Tell us about the boom lifts & scissor lifts and where it is. We'll confirm scheduling.
Exactly what we look at on these specific machines — the known problem areas and how we check them.
A staple telescopic boom lift. Boom drift and structural condition are safety items; turntable, controls, and a current annual inspection round it out.
GenieA popular articulating boom lift with a jib and multiple pivots — more joints to wear, and boom drift is still the headline safety check.
GenieA best-selling electric scissor lift. Battery pack health, cylinder drift, and the pothole-protection bars are the make-or-break checks.
GenieA taller electric scissor where battery health and platform drift matter even more. Same checks as the GS-1930, higher stakes at height.
JLGA common telescopic boom lift. Boom drift and structure are the safety story; turntable, controls, and a current annual inspection complete it.
SkyjackA simple, popular electric scissor. Battery pack, platform drift, and pothole protection are the core checks — known for straightforward serviceability.
