Valuation Factors
What determines your EWP's value?
The value of an ewp in Australia depends on these key factors. Understanding each one helps you price confidently and justify your asking price to buyers.
- Working height and platform capacity (SWL in kg)
- Platform type: boom, scissor, spider, truck-mounted
- Engine hours and service history
- IPAF or AS 2550 certification currency
- Outrigger and basket condition
- Registration if truck-mounted, or compliant trailer if trailered
What Adds Value
Factors that push your EWP's price higher
- Working height and platform capacity are the primary value drivers for EWPs
- Certification currency (current IPAF stickers) can add $5,000–$15,000 to asking price vs expired cert machines
- Truck-mounted EWPs are valued on both the truck and the EWP specifications separately
- Low engine hours relative to age signal a well-maintained machine
- Known brands (Haulotte, Genie, JLG, Nifty) hold resale value better than Chinese equivalents
