Are you looking for a bucket truck, spiderlift, or scissor lift? Do you want to know what's in the market? You have come to the right place!

We have organized all aerial work platforms by the various types of lifting mechanism: You will find Articulating Booms, Mast Lifts, Scissors, Rough Terrain Scissors,and Telescopic Booms.

A particular machine may fit into multiple categories, like the Genie TZ-34, which is both, a telescopic boom lift, and a towable lift.

What manufacturers are out there in the market? Everybody knows Genie and JLG, but who has ever heard of Teupen? Who are they and what can their machines do that others can't?

In the bucket truck field, Versalift focuses on utility work trucks and vans, but also offers tree work bucket trucks. Aerial Lifts of Connecticut makes bucket trucks for tree work only, and at that, they are the best. Altec offers all kinds of bucket trucks, but their star is the HiLine Series offering working heights of up to 150 ft!

ReachMaster invented the spider lift concept, but Teupen improved on the original with the Leo 50GT's truely impressive 166 ft working height.

Now that you have so many choices, which machine should you buy? In our Lifts Compared section we provide side by side views of aerial lifts of comparable working height.

We picked the working height as the most obvious parameter of an aerial lift. You will find that even if two aerial lifts have the same working height, other parameters may be very different. It does pay to take a closer look before you make a decision.

The Genie TZ-34 and Teupen Leo 12G articulating boom lifts sport the same working height, but offer distinct advantages in their particular areas of strength. Please take a look.
