At this year’s Rental Show, JLG will be showcasing several products and aftermarket services. Its G5-18A super compact telehandler is designed for confined or congested spaces and applications with overhead height restrictions. JLG enhanced visibility over the engine side of the machine and a more comfortable cab to help reduce operator fatigue. The unit has a tight 127-inch turning radius to enable movement through crowded jobsites and a stowed height of less than 76 inches. The G5-18A features a maximum lift height up to 18 feet, an extended outreach of 11 feet and a 5,500-pound maximum lifting capacity.

The JLG 1932R electric scissorlift is a relatively affordable addition to JLG’s scissorlift line. The all-steel swing-out component trays optimizes serviceability by providing technicians with room to work effectively. More electric components feature diagnostic capabilities, such as a battery charger with a fault code display panel that includes a USB port, allowing owners to download battery charge history.

The 1932R features a low-maintenance pothole protection system with fewer moving parts. The pothole protection system boosts reliability as it is mounted to the frame instead of the doors, allowing the system to work if the doors are out of alignment. A new platform extension is designed to shed debris, keeping deployment smooth and effective throughout the life of the unit.

The 1932R features a platform height of 19 feet and platform capacity of 550 pounds.
