Manlift Purchase Advise


Hi, presently we have a 35' bucket truck. We are thinking of purchasing a 50' tow behind manlift. Haven't used one and can't rent one where we are in Canada so if anyone usees them if you could let me know how they work for you and the brand I would sure appreciate it.

Re: Manlift Purchase Advise


The one's you can rent at the DIY type rental centers are generally flimsy junk. The one's they rent at pro rental yards are good. If I was to buy one, it would be JLG or Genie. They both make the top two towables, in my opinion. The actual choice would depend on which one I could get worked on in my area.
