JLG Industries announces its newly rebranded JLG ES1330M and ES1530M micro-sized electric scissor lifts (previously the ES1330L and ES1530L). These new models join the ES1930M, expanding JLG’s micro-sized scissor lift lineup in North America, to offer compact, lightweight and electric-powered machines engineered for indoor and outdoor use in confined spaces and on sensitive flooring.

Compact performance for challenging spaces

The new ES1330M and ES1530M micro-sized models provide purpose-built solutions for equipment users needing to work at height on construction, remodeling and facility maintenance projects in restricted access areas, such as data centers, hospitals, libraries, museums and commercial facilities. These models are also well-suited for fit-out and finish work like painting and installing HVAC, electrical, fire suppression, IT infrastructure and signage/décor.

Key features include:

  • Zero Turning Radius: Enables exceptional maneuverability in tight areas
  • Fixed Rails That Fit Through Standard Doorways: Ensures easy access without compromising structural integrity
  • Leak Containment System Now Standard: Helps protect delicate flooring by capturing potential hydraulic leaks with custom-fit trays.
  • Lightweight Design: Weighing less than 2,000 pounds, these lifts can be used across weight-sensitive flooring and fit into freight elevators. This allows trades crews to operate multiple machines in one area at the same time.
  • Advanced Onboard Technology: Includes JLG’s exclusive load-sensing system for zero-weight load calibration, variable tilt functionality to maximize the machines’ work envelopes when working on slight slopes and ClearSky Smart Fleet IoT (Internet of Things) platform for enhanced machine connectivity and diagnostics.

Productivity-enhancing options

Operators can customize their JLG micro-sized lifts with a growing suite of optional accessories, including an enclosed, four-rail integrated mid-rail deck (coming soon), a hostile environment package, a multi-display indicator to quickly view the machine’s battery life and any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), SkySense-enhanced detection system and lithium-ion batteries.

Committed to customers

JLG provides a full range of training opportunities, comprehensive parts offering and responsive customer support to machine owners and operators. Backed by a legacy of innovation and reliability, the ES1350M and ES1550M are designed to deliver the same trusted performance, total cost of ownership and strong resale value customers expect from every JLG product.
