    We use both Escalera and a PowerMate. If you don't have a lift on your truck you need the PowerMate L-series. The Escalera only climes stairs. We have a big tire kit and big toe kit on ours. the lift attatchment sucks and is useless. P.S. All the old guys like the Escalera better and its a lot quicker on the stairs.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. Always glad to hear from real world users. I'll look more into these models.

    We've used Escaleras for years. Our first one is still going and its got to be at least 15 years old. Rebuild them about every 7 or 8 years.

    We have one of the escalera model ms-1-66. It is over 10 years old and the only thing we have done is replace the batteries when they get to not holding a charge. We have moved machines as big as a Sharp MX6200 with it.

    We use this brand, model MS-1-72 when we need to, if it's a seg. 2-4; we use Copy Carriers if it's a larger segment or a bunch of stairs.
