Equipment Trading FAQs

Covers buying and selling new and used boom lifts, scissor lifts, and other MEWPs.

What is equipment trading in the access platform industry?

Equipment trading refers to the buying, selling, sourcing, and supply of new and used Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs), including boom lifts, scissor lifts, and other access equipment. Cherry Pickers Equipment, based in Dubai, UAE, specializes in sourcing and supplying quality access machines from international markets to customers across the Middle East, Asia, and other regions.

Our trading operations include procurement, inspection, refurbishment coordination, documentation, and export support for leading brands such as JLG, Genie, Dingli, and other global manufacturers.

Which brands of boom lifts and scissor lifts do Cherry Pickers Equipment sell?

Cherry Pickers Equipment trades a wide range of access equipment from internationally recognized manufacturers, including JLG Industries boom lifts and scissor lifts, Genie (Terex Aerial Work Platforms) access platforms, Dingli electric and diesel-powered access equipment, and other reputed MEWP brands based on customer requirements.

Our inventory may include telescopic boom lifts, articulated boom lifts, electric boom lifts, diesel boom lifts, electric scissor lifts, and rough-terrain scissor lifts to meet various customer applications and project requirements.

Do you sell used JLG 660SJ and JLG 860SJ telescopic boom lifts?

Yes. Cherry Pickers Equipment trades used telescopic boom lifts, including fast-moving models such as the JLG 660SJ and JLG 860SJ, subject to availability. The JLG 660SJ provides an approximate working height of 22 meters with 17.4 meters horizontal outreach, while the JLG 860SJ offers approximately 28 meters working height with 22.86 meters horizontal outreach.

Each machine is evaluated based on specifications, operating condition, manufacturing year, and working hours before being offered for sale. Availability changes frequently as units are sold; customers can check our Available for Sale page or contact our sales team for the latest stock, specifications, and pricing.

What's the difference between a telescopic boom lift and an articulated boom lift?

A telescopic boom lift uses a straight extending boom designed for maximum height and horizontal outreach, making it suitable for open work areas requiring extended reach. An articulated boom lift (also known as a knuckle boom lift) has multiple boom sections with joints, allowing operators to move up, over, and around obstacles.

Cherry Pickers Equipment supplies both telescopic and articulated boom lifts from leading manufacturers based on project requirements, working height, reach, and application.

Are your used boom lifts and scissor lifts imported from the USA or Europe?

Yes. Our sourcing network draws machines from equipment-rich markets including the USA, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, Finland, and Australia, which are then serviced and inspected before resale. Our global sourcing network enables us to provide customers with a wide selection of used boom lifts, scissor lifts, and other MEWPs that meet different operational requirements and budgets.

What condition are your used machines in, and how is that verified?

Our equipment is sourced from reliable suppliers and established rental companies with proper maintenance records, helping ensure that customers receive quality machines suitable for their operational requirements. Each available machine is supported with relevant details, including manufacturing year, country of origin, technical specifications, and condition photographs.

Customers can also request additional information, inspection reports, and detailed machine documentation before finalizing their purchase to make an informed decision.

Do you offer a warranty or after-sales support on used equipment purchases?

After-sales terms for used equipment are agreed on a per-transaction basis with our sales team. Alongside equipment trading, we also offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) and major repair services, so your machine stays supported after purchase. Please confirm specific warranty terms with our team before completing a purchase.

Do I need IPAF certification to operate a boom lift or scissor lift I purchase?

Operators of mobile elevated work platforms should generally hold recognized training, such as an IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) PAL card, or an equivalent qualification required in your country, before operating a purchased machine. Our team can advise on the safety and certification standards typically expected for the type of equipment you're buying — contact us to discuss training resources for your operators.

A scissor lift provides stable vertical access for flat-surface applications such as warehouses, buildings, and indoor facilities, with different platform heights available depending on project requirements. Our team can recommend the most suitable equipment based on your required working height, site conditions, access limitations, and project needs.

Yes, our rough-terrain scissor lift range reaches up to approximately 18 meters working height (the GS-5390 / G-5390RT range), suited to outdoor construction sites and uneven ground. For taller electric scissor lift requirements, speak with our team about current stock and sourcing options.

Do rental machines come with ground controls as well as platform controls?

Yes — as standard on mobile elevated work platforms, our rental boom lifts and scissor lifts are fitted with both platform (basket) controls for the operator and ground-level controls that allow a second person to operate or override the machine in an emergency.

Are non-marking tires available for indoor or sensitive-floor rentals?

Non-marking tires are a common option on scissor lifts and boom lifts used indoors or on finished flooring, and many manufacturers including JLG, Genie, and Dingli offer this configuration. Let us know if your project needs non-marking tires and we'll confirm availability for the specific model you require.

What safety measures or operator training support do you provide for rental customers?

Safety is a top priority when operating Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs). Rental customers must ensure that operators are properly trained, competent, and authorized to operate the equipment. We recommend following recognized MEWP safety practices, including operator training such as IPAF certification, conducting site risk assessments, and complying with applicable UAE safety regulations.

Our team can provide guidance on equipment safety requirements, operator competency standards, and best practices based on your rental equipment and site conditions.

Do you offer bi-energy (hybrid) boom lifts for rental?
