Buying a refurbished cherry picker can give a business access to established JLG equipment without approaching the purchase in the same way as a brand-new machine. The important point is to match the machine to the work rather than choosing on working height alone.
Before buying, consider the required platform height, horizontal outreach, up-and-over clearance, platform capacity, machine dimensions, ground conditions and the way the equipment will be transported to site. Maintenance history, machine condition, parts availability and supporting documentation are also important when assessing used or refurbished access equipment.
