What Is Aerial Specialists Inc and What Does It Offer?

Updated

Aerial Specialists Inc is a US-based supplier of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement parts for aerial lift equipment. If you run scissor lifts, boom lifts, telehandlers, or other aerial work platforms and need factory-correct replacement components rather than generic aftermarket substitutes, this company positions itself as a source for exact OEM parts across a wide range of brands. Its stated inventory exceeds 1,000,000 vendored and structural parts, and it offers a free parts search plus a quote request process for locating specific components.

What the company does

The core business is supplying OEM parts for aerial lift equipment — the goal being that the part you receive matches the original specification for your machine. According to the company, it serves as "the world leader in providing exact Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts for a vast array of aerial lift brands."

This matters because aerial lifts are safety-critical equipment. A part that fits but isn't built to the original spec can affect performance and, in some cases, compliance. OEM sourcing is the standard approach when you want a drop-in replacement that matches the manufacturer's design.

What parts it covers

The product range is organized around the major systems of aerial lift equipment:

Category What it includes
Aerial work platforms Identification illustrations to help pinpoint exact components
Motors and engines Power solutions matched to equipment specifications
Electrical components Wiring harnesses, control modules, and related parts
Hydraulic components Pumps, filters, and brakes for hydraulic systems

The company also names scissor lift parts, boom lift parts, and telehandler parts as specific equipment types it supports.

Brands supported

Aerial Specialists lists a long roster of supported manufacturers, spanning current production brands and legacy or hard-to-find models. Notable names include:

  • Genie, JLG, Skyjack-USA, Grove, Snorkel — among the most common aerial lift brands
  • Hyster, Pettibone/Omni, MEC/Pac-Craft, Simon Aerials
  • Legacy and specialty brands such as Ballymore, Bil-Jax, Marklift, Up-Right, and many others

The full list runs to dozens of manufacturers. The company notes that if your brand isn't listed, it may still carry parts for it — you can contact them to check.

How to find and request a part

The site provides two main entry points:

  1. Free parts search — an online tool for locating the component you need.
  2. Quote request form — for getting pricing and availability on a specific part.

The practical workflow is: identify your equipment and the exact part (using the identification illustrations where available), run it through the parts search, and submit a quote request for anything you can't confirm directly.

When this supplier makes sense

Aerial Specialists is a reasonable starting point if:

  • You need OEM parts specifically, not generic aftermarket equivalents.
  • Your equipment is from a less common or discontinued brand that's hard to source elsewhere.
  • You want to search a large inventory before contacting a manufacturer directly.

If you're working with a very common brand and need a fast local turnaround, a dealer or the OEM's own distribution channel may be quicker — but for breadth of brand coverage and hard-to-find legacy parts, a broad-inventory specialist like this is worth checking first.
