Valuation Factors

- Outrigger and basket condition
- Registration if truck-mounted, or compliant trailer if trailered
What Adds Value
Factors that push your EWP's price higher

- 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
