    JLG lifts

    Looking at a couple used JLG scissor lifts. Like new. A 3394RT and a 330LRT. I guess the 330 is just the newer model. Any comments about these? Anything to stay away from? I'm in NC and the lifts are on west coast so I can only look at pictures. And I'll have to hire out shipping. Thanks
