Simon-Abbey Elevating Work Platform - Non running, Vanguard 9HP Petrol Engine - Trailer Mounted
Overview
This Simon-Abbey elevating work platform represents a classic solution for aerial access and maintenance work across construction, utilities, and industrial applications. Built on a single-axle trailer chassis with a compact footprint, this unit delivers vertical reach and platform stability for two-person crews working at height. The Vanguard 9HP petrol engine provides reliable portable power, making this platform ideal for remote sites without mains electricity access. The manual hydraulic control system offers straightforward operation and minimal maintenance complexity compared to modern electronic platforms.
The machine features a substantial steel boom structure with articulated sections, allowing operators to position the work platform at various angles and heights. The enclosed cabin provides weather protection for the operator during setup and operation, whilst the elevated platform includes safety harness anchor points and edge protection. This model was manufactured in 2001 and represents the robust engineering standards of Simon-Abbey equipment from that era.
Comparable elevating work platforms of similar vintage and capacity typically range from AUD 8,000 to 15,000 depending on condition and hours. This unit, whilst showing its age cosmetically, retains structural integrity and operational functionality, positioning it as a value option for buyers seeking reliable access equipment for maintenance, inspection, or light construction tasks.
Condition
The platform exhibits extensive surface rust and weathering consistent with outdoor storage over an extended period. The white cabin enclosure shows significant paint deterioration and rust staining, particularly around seams and fastener points. The yellow steel boom structure displays heavy surface corrosion with rust bloom across welded sections and pin joints. Hydraulic lines and fittings show rust accumulation and weathering, though no active leaks are visible in the photographs. The engine cover and control panel exhibit weathered paint and surface corrosion. The platform decking shows rust staining and surface deterioration. The undercarriage and trailer frame display rust typical of extended outdoor exposure.
Structurally, the boom appears straight and undamaged, with no visible cracks or deformation. The hydraulic cylinders show weathered seals but no evidence of major leakage. The trailer chassis appears sound with no visible structural damage. The Vanguard engine is accessible and appears complete with all ancillary components present.
