aerial lift inspection keeps your shop safe and your insurance happy. We perform ALI-style annual lift inspections nationwide and apply the dated certification sticker inspectors and insurers look for.

What the inspection covers
We check cables, locks, hydraulics, anchors, and safety systems against the ALI checklist, document the result, and apply a dated certification sticker.

Why aerial lift inspection matters
Beyond safety, aerial lift inspection is what your insurer and OSHA program expect – documented annual inspection of every lift in the shop.
Recent work
For example, we installed a SL210 lift for an Iowa shop for $58,075 (a real 2024 job).
Where we work
We are based in Iowa and support shops across the country. Some work we do on site regionally; for the rest of the U.S. we handle equipment, parts, and phone diagnosis, and we coordinate inspections where it makes sense. Call and we will tell you honestly what we can do for your location.
We would rather give you a straight answer than overpromise a truck roll that does not make sense. Tell us where you are and what you need.
