Cmc spider lift or hinowa?

[Vincent skinner]

Since I posted last I've understood that back up is quite a important issue with these machines. Would you say that is a fair price cannon access?

[Cannon Access]

For that price I would expect a very clean machine, your options are limited if you are after that sort of height and under 3t, I'm afraid I'm not overly familiar with Cela, I had a demo a few years ago and they have a good spec but they are not very common.

 

Speak to Chris at Euraccess about typical problems, parts prices and lead times on parts etc.

 

If you do buy one then try to keep it under cover, water ingress is the most common cause of electrical problems, and do NOT pressure wash too intensely for the same reason! Keep it clean and dry and you should have little trouble, never try to bodge repairs or get general plant fitters (no offence) in for repairs, access is a completely different game and you really need experienced access engineers for most repairs. I have seen many machines ruined by bodged repairs, everything is fitted for a reason but often people bypass switches, sensors, lights etc and it would put you in a very bad place if a fatal accident happened and the investigation dug up poor workmanship.

 

If you like the machine and you can make it pay then just check what major service items could cost, and go from there! Just remember to take depreciation into account too

Thanks cannon access! Have you got a name? . I've decided to go with the cmc now should hopefully get it in 2/3 wks. Funny you say about water Incress, the machine I'm getting had to have a new loom on it as he pressure washed it to much. Seems pretty well cared for. I'll keep everyone posted on here thanks

Did you by any chance look further into the Cela regarding parts availabilty etc ?

[Cannon Access]

It's Tom, and yes- spiders don't like water! New loom is good, when you get it go over every plug and connector you can find and just open and check there is no water sitting inside. I know of a Hinowa that has cooked 2 main boards at £2,500 each because of water inside one connector...

 

Good luck!

Maybe a long shot after the time lag, but did you get it and do you have any feedback,  positive or negative experiences?

We use to use a hinowa 15m spider thing a few heard back. 
we use to call it death mewp, so flimsy, I think the bloom was made from paper straws, when you use to track onto trailer would so summersaults

Ha, I’ve got one of those. Takes a bit of setting up and then you need to move it again as the reach is a little limited.
