Unused & Used JLG Aerial Work Platforms for Sale on Makana

JLG aerial work platforms are used for construction, building maintenance, industrial facilities, warehouses, installation work, inspections, and projects that require safe access at height.

Makana offers JLG scissor lifts and telescopic boom lifts with different working heights, power systems, platform configurations, and ground capabilities. Buyers can select a machine according to the required height, horizontal reach, platform capacity, site access, and working surface.

Types of JLG Aerial Work Platforms

• Electric scissor lifts: Designed mainly for vertical access on firm and level surfaces. They suit warehouses, shopping centres, factories, fit-out projects, maintenance work, and indoor construction.
• Diesel telescopic boom lifts: Provide greater working height and horizontal reach for outdoor construction, steel structures, industrial maintenance, façades, utilities, and infrastructure projects.

Makana usually offers varied JLG models, including the 1930ES, 2646ES, and 3246ES electric scissor lifts, as well as the 400S, 460SJ, 600S, 860SJ, and 1200SJP telescopic boom lifts, depending on availability.

The available range can cover working heights from approximately 7.6 metres on compact scissor lifts to more than 38 metres on large telescopic boom lifts.

JLG Lift Features and Components to Compare

• Working height: Confirm that the platform reaches the highest work point with a suitable safety margin.
• Platform height: Distinguish between the platform-floor height and the total working height.
• Horizontal outreach: Important for boom lifts that need to reach over structures, obstacles, machinery, or façades.
• Platform capacity: Check the permitted weight for workers, tools, and materials.
• Machine width: Compare the stowed width with doors, warehouse aisles, access gates, and transport limits.
• Power system: Review the battery system on electric lifts and the engine and fuel system on diesel machines.
• Battery condition: Inspect battery age, charging time, operating duration, terminals, cables, charger, and individual cells.
• Hydraulic system: Test lift speed, extension, rotation, steering, leaks, cylinder drift, hoses, valves, and oil condition.
• Boom structure: Inspect telescopic sections, welds, wear pads, pins, bushes, cylinders, cable systems, and alignment.
• Scissor assembly: Check arms, pivot points, pins, bushes, rollers, cracks, deformation, and platform stability.
• Drive system: Test movement at ground level and height, braking, traction, speed selection, and wheel motors.
• Tyres: Check tyre type, tread, cuts, flat spots, foam filling, sidewall condition, and wheel alignment.
• Platform controls: Test joysticks, switches, emergency stop, function enable, horn, alarms, and display indicators.
• Ground controls: Confirm that all functions operate correctly from the lower control panel.
• Safety systems: Check tilt alarms, pothole protection, overload systems, emergency lowering, gates, guardrails, and interlocks.

Comparison Between Unused and Used JLG Aerial Work Platforms and Why Buyers Choose Used

Unused JLG lifts have little or no previous site history. They may provide very low hours and limited wear across the batteries, hydraulic system, boom or scissor structure, controls, tyres, and platform.

However, unused equipment normally requires a higher purchase budget. A properly inspected used JLG lift can provide the required working height, outreach, and platform capacity at a lower initial cost.

Buyers commonly choose used JLG lifts because of:

• Lower initial purchase cost: Reduces the capital needed to expand an access-equipment fleet.
• Faster availability: Available lifts can be inspected and purchased without waiting for factory delivery.
• Slower depreciation: Part of the early reduction in equipment value has already occurred.
• Wide height range: Buyers can choose compact indoor lifts or large outdoor boom lifts.
• Proven operation: Videos and function tests show how the lift, steering, travel, and safety systems perform.
• Condition-based selection: Buyers can compare hours, battery health, structural wear, tyres, hydraulics, and controls.

How to Choose the Right JLG Lift

• Define the required access pattern: Choose a scissor lift for mainly vertical access or a boom lift when horizontal reach is required.
• Measure the working height: Include the height of the work point and a suitable operating margin.
• Check horizontal obstacles: Review walls, roofs, machinery, steel structures, and other objects between the machine and work area.
• Confirm platform capacity: Calculate the combined weight of operators, tools, cables, and materials.
• Measure site access: Check doors, gates, aisles, ceiling heights, and turning space.
• Review ground conditions: Electric scissor lifts need firm and level surfaces, while 4WD diesel boom lifts suit rougher outdoor areas.
• Inspect the power system: Test battery duration and charging or review the diesel engine, cooling, and fuel system.
• Operate the machine at full range: Test lifting, extension, rotation, steering, travel, platform levelling, and emergency lowering.
• Check structural condition: Inspect the boom sections or scissor arms for cracks, repairs, deformation, and excessive movement.
• Review safety functions: Confirm that alarms, interlocks, emergency stops, gates, and lowering systems work correctly.
• Plan transport: Compare the stowed dimensions and operating weight with the trailer and route restrictions.
• Calculate ownership cost: Include transport, customs, batteries, tyres, hydraulic work, electrical repairs, certification, and servicing.
