What to Know When Purchasing Used Terex Bucket Trucks or Digger Derricks

Prior to Operating the Equipment

When acquiring used equipment, the purchase is typically considered to be in ‘as-is’ condition. Before putting the machine into service, scheduling a comprehensive inspection by a qualified person is important to identify any issues or manufacturer’s bulletins that must be addressed. The inspection may show actions that need to be done, such as the need for a scheduled maintenance and parts replacements – or it may have damaged components that need to be repaired. The bottom line is that the aerial or digger may not be safe to use by the new owners until it is properly inspected, and repairs have been made. Terex can assist, after purchase, by providing estimates for inspection, repair, parts, and manuals.

What to Know

When purchasing a used Terex bucket truck or digger derrick, the purchaser must be aware that an operator’s manual for the aerial device or digger derrick must be on the vehicle and available to the operator per OSHA regulations and ANSI standards. In addition, Terex and local industry standards (CSA and ANSI) require that the purchaser of a Terex unit report to Terex the model and serial number of each machine sold, as well as the name, address, and telephone number of the new owner, within 60 days of the purchase.

Send Terex the information about the new owner so any relevant information can be sent using one of the following methods:
