First, answer these questions:

• How many people do you need to lift at one time?
• How high do you need to reach?
• How will you transport the lift: Trailer, Pick-up truck, Fork lift or other?
• Will you be moving the lift over uneven surfaces? Indoor or outdoor?
• Will you need leveling capability?
• How narrow or wide are your access areas?
• Will you need AC or DC power source?
• Will you need to work over immovable objects? (like auditorium seats)
• Will you need to go through doorways? Are they standard doorways?
• What is your budget range?

How Do You Get The Right Machine For Your Applications?

• Have all employees who will use the lift evaluate it.
• Run the lift through all applications, especially the hard-to-get-to places.
• Evaluate for safety (look for features like lockout safety switches, with visual
• confirmation of proper setup, simple operating and warning decals).
• Evaluate for durability (exposed wiring, hydraulic lines, etc.).
• Evaluate for ease of use, pushing, setup time.
• Evaluate for easy maintenance and serviceability.
• Look for quality (paint, welding, finish).
• Write exact specifications of the type of lift that best meets your needs.

What Kind Of Support Do You Need From The Dealer Or Manufacturer?

• You should expect to get many hours of work and many years of productivity from your aerial work platform.
• Be sure the lift meets or exceeds OSHA / ANSI standards and all government regulations.
• Establish a documented in-house safety training program for present and future employees.
