Truck Mounted or spider Lift??

[RosscOZ]

I have been running a tree services business for the last 4 years specialising in large, difficult access trees, and am ready to expand into buying a Elevated Work Platform. I am trying to decide whether to go for an Older
(1990 Isuzu) 4x4 Truck mounted 23m bucket, or a Self propelled Hinowa 19 m (Track mounted).
Both have there advantages and disadvantages. I like the tight area access of the lift, but, hell the reach of the telescopic 23m is tempting too, unfortunately I cant afford both!!

Any suggestion from current owners of either would be helpful to the max. Especially on how the spider lifts go and stand up to constant use, do they tend to get in the way of material being lowered or thrown etc etc.

Thanks for any replies!! If there has already been a thread on this can someone point me to it? Thanks

If not too late ( I assume it is but hey...) contact me. You will see how interesting of an option our spider lifts are. Thanks.
