I have 8 units under contract to purchase in a few days when they are replaced by a "lease and maintain" vendor.

I am working with limited funds to raise more money for Disaster Relief work and need to know that I am investing wisely.

They are model year 2001, said to lift 3000# max 531", have between 14 to 17k hours with the four higher hour machines having the Roller Thrust Bearings replaced, the most new parts, and all units had bi-monthly Crown service~all are operational. 1 needs bearings replaced - 3 are middle of the road - they come with 4 batteries each yet no chargers - the Crown mechanic setting up the new rigs says 4 of the units should provide 4-6 years of good service under normal warehouse demands and the parts from the others would be highly desirable to anyone who maintains a fleet. 4 batteries with each but no chargers.

Located in a commercial area and having to remove them in a small window of time I am looking at leasing space to drive them to without dismantling them.

Might you be a kind soul that could throw out a ballpark figure of their worth so I can verify I am generally on the right track for investment???? Any idea how long I would have to sit on parts or the best ones to sell whole??


I would REALLY appreciate any advice or direction.

Many Thanks
