Standards and what to check

WorkSafe New Zealand expects mobile elevating work platforms already in service to meet one or more recognised standards, and AS/NZS 1418.10 is the standard used for testing in New Zealand. Ask the seller for the test certificate and the maker's inspection record. Operators need training, and the unit standard that covers describing elevating work platform types and the legal requirements for their use is 23966.

Lift height, platform size and warranty

Ask for both the platform height and the working height in metres, because the working height is the one that decides how far you can reach. Check the chassis and year, the engine hours or battery condition for electric models, and the warranty. One brand, Haulotte, offers a five-year parts and labour warranty on its electric slab scissor lifts, so warranty terms vary a lot. Ask whether the warranty applies in New Zealand.

Season and how it is rented

Winter from June to August brings cold, wet ground, which matters for outdoor and rough-terrain lifts. December to February gives the longest working days. Lease terms vary, so ask whether a hire is daily, weekly or monthly, and whether the price includes delivery to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga and GST.

What to write in your request

Say whether you want to buy or rent, the lift height you need in metres, the type of work (indoor warehouse, outdoor building site or maintenance), the city, the lease term, the work date, the chassis and year you prefer, and your budget. Sellers can then quote a machine that suits the job.

Describe the job in your own words in a BlaBlaPrice chat and add a photo if you have one. Buyers pay nothing. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details such as the working height, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in New Zealand and shows what it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with price, terms and delivery, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. Browse heavy equipment or construction machinery.
