Advantages

• Money is the very first advantage you will be pleasing with. You can save up to 2000 dollars on second hand lifts.
• There are many good lift brands that sell lifts with life time guarantee, which means, if you buy a second hand lift of these brands then you can be rest assured about the quality. However, even though the brand is good, we suggest you to consider taking help of a Lift servicing company or lift engineers to make a wise decision.

Disadvantages

• If not selected carefully, you may need to invest more into lift servicing by hiring a lift company on short intervals
• If the model is too old, you may not be able to locate the parts that may be required in case the lift breakdown. Try to buy a second hand lift not older than 5 to 8 years. However, there are many good lift companies in UK where you may get older parts too because they preserve such parts to help their regular clients.
• You may not get guarantee on used lift, which means you will have to hire a lift company for regular lift maintenance and servicing.
• You may not get modern features in an old, second hand lift. However, you can contact a lift company for lift refurbishment and modernization of this old lift.
