- How much does it cost to buy a scissor lift?
- New electric scissor lifts range from about $12,000 for a 19 ft slab unit up to $35,000+ for a 40 ft wide-deck lift. Used lifts in good condition typically run $6,000–$18,000 depending on size, hours and battery health. Rough terrain diesel scissor lifts start around $28,000 new.
- Where can I buy a scissor lift?
- Buy directly from an authorized dealer like Global Solutions Equipment — we sell new and used Genie, Skyjack and JLG scissor lifts nationwide, with financing, freight to your zip code, and dealer-backed parts and service. Call (877) 777-9291 for a same-day quote.
- Should I buy new or used?
- Buy new if you'll use the lift 500+ hours per year, need warranty coverage, or plan to keep it 7+ years. Buy used if the unit will see occasional use, you have a maintenance program, and you want the lowest cost of entry. All our used lifts include a current ANSI A92.20 inspection.
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes. We offer equipment financing on both new and used scissor lifts through partner lenders. Terms typically run 36–60 months with competitive rates for qualified buyers. Call (877) 777-9291 for a same-day quote.
- Do you ship scissor lifts nationwide?
- Yes — we deliver purchased scissor lifts anywhere in the continental United States. Freight is quoted per destination based on lift size and delivery location. Most orders ship within 3–5 business days of payment clearing.
- What size scissor lift should I buy?
- Start with the working height you need to reach and subtract about 6 ft to get the platform height. 19 ft is standard for retail and light commercial, 26–32 ft covers most industrial and multi-story interior work, and 40 ft+ is for high-bay and heavy construction. Try our free size calculator.
- Are your lifts inspected and ready to work?
- Every scissor lift we sell — new or used — ships with a current ANSI A92.20 annual inspection, OEM operator manual, and dealer-backed parts and service support from Genie, Skyjack and JLG.
- Do you sell scissor lifts in Los Angeles?
- Yes. We deliver purchased scissor lifts throughout the greater Los Angeles metro — including Long Beach, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego — typically within 24–72 hours of payment clearing. Local SoCal freight usually runs $350–$750 depending on lift size and drop location. Call (877) 777-9291 for a delivered LA quote.
- How fast can I get a scissor lift delivered in Southern California?
- Most LA-basin, Orange County, Inland Empire and San Diego deliveries arrive within 24–72 hours of a cleared purchase. In-stock 19 ft and 26 ft electric slab lifts are the fastest movers; 40 ft and 4WD rough terrain units may take 3–5 days depending on inbound freight.
- What's the best scissor lift to buy for a warehouse?
- For most warehouses and distribution centers, a 26 ft or 32 ft wide-deck electric scissor lift (Genie GS-2632 / GS-3246, Skyjack SJIII 3226, JLG 2632ES / 3246ES) is the sweet spot — enough height for rack tops and lighting, a deck big enough for two workers plus materials, and non-marking tires for finished floors.
- Do I need certification to operate a scissor lift I buy?
- Yes. OSHA and ANSI A92.24 require every scissor lift operator to complete task-specific training, hands-on evaluation, and familiarization on the exact model they'll run. We can point you to authorized training providers in your area — training is the buyer's responsibility, not the dealer's.
- Can I trade in my old scissor lift?
- Yes. We accept trade-ins on Genie, Skyjack, JLG and most other major brands. Send the model, serial number, hours and a few photos and we'll come back with a trade allowance or a straight cash offer within one business day.
- What warranty comes with a new scissor lift?
- New Genie, Skyjack and JLG scissor lifts carry the manufacturer's standard warranty — typically 1 year full unit / 2 years on major components / 5 years on structural. Used lifts do not carry a manufacturer warranty but ship with a current ANSI A92.20 inspection and full functional test.
