A second hand platform can serve for many years with excellent performance. The owner just has to take care of it as if it were a new one and get it serviced regularly. We put together a few points to consider when buying a used aerial work platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Things to Consider when Choosing a Second Hand Aerial Work Platform:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Its age. When buying a used platform its age is an important factor. There are platforms of a variety of ages for sale and the range can be extensive. You can still find machinery for sale all the way from the 90\u2019s. The age should especially be considered, because manufacturers may have discontinued production on some spare parts for these older platforms. This makes its maintenance especially difficult. Therefore, before investing in a used platform, make sure its spare parts and capable maintenance personnel are still available.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to know the history of the platform. For example, whether the machine has been used for challenging projects in the past and how well the past owner has taken care of it. You can find useful information on the platform\u2019s maintenance and servicing in its inspection log sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the case is a new or a used aerial work platform, it is important to think what the machine will be used for. Once the buyer is clear on the purpose of the platform it is easier to determine the most suitable model. Different models have been designed for different purposes, so consult with a salesperson about the best option for your specific needs.<\/p>\n<p>When buing a second hand platform it is also essential to make sure the machine comes with all the necessary paperwork to prove that it has been serviced and meets the current safety requirements. If possible, the buyer should also check whether the previous maintenance person has been qualified. By doing this, unpredictable issues can be prevented in the future. It is also important to check if the platform is equipped with all certificants required by law, such as the CE Certificate required in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Investing in a used aerial work platform is an excellent option. It does not put a strain on the company budget as much as a new one would, and all the same labour can still be compeleted. With the help of maintenance professionals the owner can extend the product\u2019s life and get much more out of it in the long-run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Platform Sales Personnel to Help with Decisionmaking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the buying process all the factors mentioned above are important to take into consideration. In addition, the sales professionals are here to help! They have in-depth knowledge about the different models of platforms and each of them is used for. Their assistance should be used as much as possible to find the best possible option for the case.<\/p>\n<p>At Simeri, we have a very qualified maintenance staff, who can fix your aerial work platforms back into shape quickly.
