JLG Offers New Features and Options for its Electric Scissor Lifts, Vertical Lifts & Stock Picker
JLG Industries Inc. introduces new features and options on its line of ES electric slab scissor lifts, ERT electric rough terrain scissor lifts, E18 drivable vertical lifts and the E18 drivable stock picker. Updates to the JLG lines include standard AC drive motors, lithium-ion battery options and a range-extending genset charging option to enhance the models’ productivity, efficiency and versatility on job sites and around facilities.
AC Drive Motors Now Standard
When it comes to zero-emission or noise-controlled work sites, the JLG ES line of electric scissor lift models meets the challenge. The ES1932, ES2632, ES2646 and ES3246 models now feature AC drive motors as standard equipment. These permanent magnet AC drive motors offer peak efficiency through lower energy consumption, require less battery draw and are virtually maintenance-free. JLG’s ES4046 and DaVinci all-electric AE1932 scissor lift models already come standard with AC drive motors.
Lithium-Ion Battery Options
Select JLG ES scissor lifts, E18 vertical lifts and the E18 stock picker can now be outfitted with lithium-ion batteries. Customers can choose between Lithium, which offers one battery on most models, and Lithium+, which provides an additional battery to amp up duty cycles. These new battery options offer zero performance degradation, fast charging capabilities and extended battery lifespan.
Genset Option for ERT Models
JLG has introduced a genset option for its electric rough terrain (ERT) scissor lift models. This 2610W, 58V, 45 Amp unit allows operators to recharge batteries anytime and anywhere, extending the range and increasing productivity and job site versatility.
“JLG's lifts are designed to work in various applications, from new construction to facility maintenance,” says Bob Begley, director of product management for JLG’s scissor lift, vertical mast lift and low-level access lift product lines. “With these enhancements, JLG continues to offer solutions that meet the industry's evolving needs, including requirements for zero-emission and noise-controlled work sites.”
