Tyrone council approves $20,850 purchase of scissor lift for public works
Summary
Council approved purchasing a Skyjack SJ4726 E scissor lift from Bridal Titans for up to $20,850 from the equipment budget; staff said the lift meets maintenance needs and is cheaper than repeated rentals.
Council approved a purchase request for a Skyjack SJ4726 E scissor lift from Bridal Titans in an amount not to exceed $20,850, funded from the public works equipment allocation. Philip said the lift’s 24–26 foot platform height will help staff reach lights and rafters across town facilities and is more cost‑effective than frequent rentals, which staff said typically run $1,000–$1,500 per rental.
Council members asked about warranty and operator training; staff said the unit is new and carries at least a one‑year warranty and that staff are OSHA certified for aerial lifts or will receive certification as needed. A motion to purchase passed by voice vote.
