    Should You Buy, Lease, or Rent?

    Determining whether to buy, lease or rent an aerial work platform or crane can be an intimidating decision. Customization, perception, low-interest rates, tax write-offs, round-the-clock availability, and resale potential are all factors to consider.

    We can help walk you through each of these and help you make the decision that makes the most sense for your business needs. Learn more

    Tips to help you setup for success!

    The proper setup goes beyond your machine; there are factors to consider with users and your surroundings, too! Are these items always on your radar?

    • Site conditions: Make sure you know your surroundings. Note obstacles such as power lines, traffic, and ground conditions. 
    • Weather conditions: If it’s winter, is your machine properly winterized? If it’s summer, are you staying properly hydrated? Are there wind conditions to consider?
    • PPE: Are you properly protected and wearing suitable Personal Protective Equipment?
    • The right equipment: Are you using the right machine for the job?
    • Work plan: Is everyone onsite properly trained and has the work plan been communicated to all?
    • Pre-operation inspections: Have you performed a thorough walk-around inspection and identified any hazards or potential hazards with the machine?
    • Stability checks: Is your machine level with adequate outrigger pads or cribbing?
