Hey group....
So I am attempting to restore a 1890's church and needed something to get me up the roof n beyond....figuring out my options at my budget...I figured a lift would be nicer then rigging up scaffolding and more efficient then climbing/ladders...n not to mention safer....
So I stumbled across this scissor lift goes up crazier higher then I need it to, it is AWD and rough terrain....with a huge working platform...so I figured I would go for it...
I bought it from a construction company, he bought it in a lot of equipment that was put out to pasture by a drywall company...he got it up n running with a new tank, pump...alternator etc....showed me that everything works etc...
The problems I see, are the outriggers are leaking and the tires while foam filled are in pretty bad shape/old....I assume it will be fine to use for this project but I am curious about tires? How do I change a foam filled tire? I have a feeling that is why it was put out to pasture...
I am waiting for it to be dropped off as he was also able to get some people together to help get it to me...you know kinda hard to tow this behind a mini van lol
Okay, hit me with your best why did you buy this lol I am also paranoid to get it stuck in the ground but I haven't really read anything about anyone who has used a rough terrain manlift...everyone is always talking about the small ones you see at the big box stores changing light bulbs...
