JLG has launched eight new re-engineered rough terrain scissor lifts, including four electric models, with platform heights ranging from 26 to 47 feet.
The battery-powered AC-drive models have the same platform heights and capacities as their four new diesel counterparts, which have 24.8-horsepower Kubota engines. All models have the same drive speeds of 3.5 mph when the platform is lowered.
The scissors also got several new features and can be driven at height.
The platforms feature 28% more working area than previous models. They also have a zero-platform offset, enabling the operator to get workers and material closer to the work area, JLG says.
The company’s LiftSense automatically monitors the platform weight and the lift’s tilt to determine the safe, allowable working envelope. This is part of JLG’s response to a new provision in the ANSI standards, which requires the machine to cut off to prevent overloaded platforms that can cause the machine to tip over. JLG’s new LCD display shows the operator the allowable height envelope before elevating. The control box with the display also includes a USB phone charger and phone holster.
The electric scissors can be equipped with the optional CleanGuard leak-containment system to protect floors or sensitive areas without having to cover the entire underside of the machine, the company says.
