High quality Approved Used access platforms from APS
If you’re buying a used or second-hand access platform or material lift, you need to feel confident that it’s in good working order and perfectly safe to use!
Our range of Approved Used equipment is designed to do just that. We fully understand the implications involved in purchasing equipment with a previous working life. All our Approved Used access platforms and material lifts are trade-ins against new sales or from customers we know and trust. This, coupled with our extensive refurbishment standards, gives the assurance you need to invest with APS.
We're authorised UK dealers for Genie, Hinowa, Niftylift, Aldercote, MEC, Youngman BoSS and Wienold, but we’ll also have used stock of Skyjack, Snorkel, Haulotte, JLG, Versalift that we’ve bought in as part-exchanges.
Our stock is updated regularly on our website and you’ll find photographs, specifications, descriptions and of course fair market pricing.
Approved Used vs New
Buying a used, or second-hand access platform is often a very good choice and can afford you a bit more flexibility. Not only is it budget-friendly, it tends to hold its value if well maintained and you are often provided with a wider choice of readily available equipment. It’s ideal for short-term contracts or specific jobs and can be resold on afterwards with minimal depreciation.
Why buy from us?
Our reputation for supplying quality second-hand and Approved Used equipment is well deserved, and we work hard to keep it that way.
When you’re buying used equipment, you need assurance that it will give you safe and continued performance during its lifecycle.
Every Approved Used access platform and material lift is thoroughly inspected by our experienced CAP-trained engineers at our own workshops. Following the inspection, we then refurbish according to the overall condition of the equipment. Inferior equipment is scrapped so you never need to worry about buying anything that is considered unworthy of a second life.
We give you a choice of refurbishment standards, each priced at a different level - Bronze, Silver or Gold – which comes with our industry leading warranty.
