What to Check Before Buying a Used 19 ft Scissor Lift
- Hours and service records. Ask for the hour meter reading and any annual inspection reports.
- Batteries and charger. Batteries are one of the biggest costs on an electric scissor. Ask how old they are, check that the lift holds a charge through a full shift, and make sure the charger works.
- Scissor arms and pins. Look for cracks, bends and worn pins or bushings.
- Hydraulic system. Check the lift cylinder, hoses and fittings for leaks, and make sure the platform doesn’t drift down.
- Safety systems. Test the tilt alarm, pothole guards, emergency stop, emergency lowering and descent alarm. Lifts built to the current ANSI A92.20 standard also have platform load sensing.
- Platform and controls. The extension deck should slide and lock, the gate should close, and the joystick should respond smoothly.
- Drive and brakes. Drive the lift forward and back, and make sure the brakes hold on a slope.
- Tires. Non-marking tires should be free of chunks, flat spots and heavy wear.
Test every function at full height before you buy, and ask the seller for photos of the hour meter and serial plate.
