Our standards explained
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.
