1996 JLG CM 2033 scissors lift has lost its mobility... stay away?
Warehouse owns it, was pushed aside and new one with larger platform and greater height was purchased.
Seems to be all there, manual downloaded from JLG site.
Still goes up/down, they say.
Seems all parts can be sourced, but somewhat pricey.
Are the hydraulic wheel motors generic, or proprietary?
How often is a rebuild of pump or motors successful?
How often is this a simple fix? Say, a switch or sensor or filter?
Or, just buy a used, running scissors lift and start using it?
Any JLG horror stories out there?
There’s a local craigslist ad, wanting to buy a “dead” scissors lift.... I can always cut my losses and sell it on to someone else if it’s not economical to repair.
I’ll offer $100 for it, if loaded onto my trailer. Otherwise, I’ll find another.
Unless that offer is insulting, and a higher offer is reasonable.
$3000 used, running lifts can be found here in Indianapolis. Cost of batteries, time expended, cost-of worst-case repairs, fluids, etc. make me reluctant to offer much more than that.
All comments are appreciated, even the harsh ones.
Thanks,
Steve
