General Maintenance Tips for JLG Scissor Lifts and Other AWPs
When it comes to JLG scissor lifts and other AWPs, routine maintenance makes a big difference in prolonging the efficiency and effectiveness of the lift. Some service needs are obvious, as in the case of a malfunctioning or damaged part. However, regular inspections and routinely scheduled improvements help increase its lifespan, along with its safe and continuous operation. To help maintain your AWP, the following recommendations apply to JLG scissor lifts as well as other types of aerial lifts:
- Be proactive. Failing to maintain aerial lifts can result in a variety of safety hazards as well as equipment damage. This neglect jeopardizes not only the well-being of JLG scissor lift operators, other workers and even individuals in proximity to the workplace and AWP, but also the ability to complete the project or do so on the designated schedule. Establish a plan for daily, monthly, and annual inspections, as well as inspections based on hours of use.
- Access maintenance and operation support. OSHA offers on-site consultations not just regulation enforcement. From employee training to lift inspection schedules to federal safety requirements, collaborating with OSHA helps ensure adherence to required maintenance schedules and other important aspects of aerial lift use, including workplace safety and operational compliance.
- Find a quality replacement part supplier. Knowing where to find quality JLG parts helps expedite necessary maintenance. For one-stop shopping, choose a supplier that specializes in aerial lifts and has a comprehensive collection of replacement parts for all types and brands of AWPs, including JLG scissor lifts. Make sure the company you use also offers expert technical support in the event that questions regarding OEM versus aftermarket parts arise or you want to verify replacement part selection.
- Think about big and small maintenance needs. Maintaining a JLG scissor lift requires close attention to the bigger components like platform guardrails and tires as well as smaller features like safety labels and floor protection additions. To help ensure a complete and thorough evaluation, newer all-electric scissor lift models like the JLG 1932e include a self-diagnostics option, which enables an all-system test to be run on an operator’s mobile device.
- Keep records. Be meticulous with regard to ongoing maintenance, including providers, parts, dates/times, etc. Service records are used for a variety of purposes including formulating maintenance schedules, OSHA and ANSI compliance and legal protection.
