First off I should probably say hi, as I've trolled these forums for a while and never had much for questions to ask until now...
So we purchased a 2005 JLG 600S from the states, and had it shipped up here only to find out that indeed it probably had the low hours as advertised although it must have been used extensively for sand or soda blasting. As it turns out this unit would not pass its structural (NDT) testing. Basically the man-basket needs replacing as well as the main (lower) boom. The mid-boom needs to be blasted to stop corrosion and re-painted. Now the place we bought the unit from so far seems like they are going to work with us on these problems and will try to rectify everything. However I was curious if anyone knew any place that sold used boom sections for aerial lifts. So far I've been able to find the man-basket easily online but the boom sections are not so easy.
So if anyone has any information that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
