How to Find and Request the Right OEM Part on Aerial Specialists Inc

Updated

Aerial Specialists Inc (aerialspecialists.com) is an OEM aerial lift parts supplier with over 1,000,000 vendored and structural parts in inventory. To find and request the right part, you have four practical routes: use the free parts search, work from the identification illustrations, submit the Quote Request Form, or contact the company directly when your brand or part isn't listed. The site supports scissor lifts, boom lifts, telehandlers, and aerial work platforms across a long list of manufacturers, so most searches start with identifying your machine first.

Start With Your Machine Details

Before searching, gather the information that determines which part fits:

  • Manufacturer and model of your lift (for example, Genie, JLG, Skyjack, Grove, Snorkel).
  • Serial number if available — OEM parts often change across production runs.
  • The specific component you need (motor, hydraulic pump, wiring harness, control module, filter, brake, etc.).
  • A photo or diagram reference of the failed part, which helps when names vary between brands.

Having these ready reduces back-and-forth and makes the search tools far more useful.

Use the Free Aerial Lift Parts Search

The site's primary self-service tool is the Free Parts Search. The workflow is:

  1. Open the parts search from the homepage (linked as "Free Parts Search" / "Parts Search").
  2. Enter your machine or part identifiers — brand, model, and the component you're after.
  3. Review the matching results and confirm the part number against your machine's details.
  4. Note the part number or listing before moving to the quote step.

Expected result: a shortlist of candidate OEM parts you can verify. If the search returns nothing useful, that's your signal to switch to the identification illustrations or a direct request.

Use Identification Illustrations for Exact Components

For aerial work platforms, the site provides comprehensive identification illustrations designed to help you pinpoint the exact components you require. This matters most when:

  • You know the assembly but not the individual part name.
  • The part is internal (hydraulic, electrical, or structural) and hard to describe in words.
  • You want to confirm a part number visually before requesting a quote.

Match your machine's assembly to the illustration, locate the component, and carry that reference into the quote request.

Submit a Quote Request

Once you have a part number or a clear description, use the Quote Request Form:

  1. Open the Quote Request Form from the site navigation.
  2. Provide your machine details (brand, model, serial number) and the part number or description.
  3. Include quantity and any notes about the component.
  4. Submit the form and wait for a response with pricing and availability.

The form is the standard path for getting a price — the site presents itself as a quote-based parts supplier rather than a fixed-price catalog, so expect a reply rather than an instant checkout.

When Your Brand or Part Isn't Listed

The supported manufacturers list is extensive — it includes Genie, JLG, Grove, Skyjack-USA, Snorkel, MEC/Pac-Craft, Skyclimber, Simon Aerials, Marklift, and many legacy names such as Ballymore, Bil-Jax, Calavar, Mite-E-Lift, Up-Right, and Wilson-Lift, among dozens more. But the list is not exhaustive.

If you can't find your brand, the site states you may still be covered: contact them and they'll help you locate exactly what you need. This is the right move for hard-to-find legacy models or brands not shown in the list.

Quick Decision Guide

Situation Best route
You know the part number Free Parts Search, then Quote Request Form
You know the assembly but not the part Identification illustrations
Your brand is on the supported list Search or quote form directly
Your brand isn't listed Contact the company
You need pricing Quote Request Form (quote-based, not instant checkout)

Common Sticking Points

  • Skipping machine identification. Part numbers vary by model and serial range; searching on brand alone often returns the wrong match.
  • Assuming instant pricing. The site routes you through a quote request, so plan for a response rather than an immediate purchase.
  • Giving up when a brand isn't listed. The company explicitly invites contact for unlisted brands and legacy models — use that channel instead of assuming no availability.

The core sequence is simple: identify your machine, search or use the illustrations to pin down the part, then submit the quote request — and contact the company directly whenever the self-service tools fall short.
