JLG Lifts Elevated As The Range To Rival Most
Scissors lifts these days have advanced at such a rapid pace, but one needs to not forget where we come from - in all spheres - the same applies to scissors lifts. John L. Grove was where cranes originated from, and scissors lifts in turn were borne from cranes. Being an American inventor and industrialist, primarily known for developing the hydraulic crane and access lift industries, Grove was surely an innovator of vast proportions. Seeing an opportunity to fill a need, where a method was needed to ensure the moving of heavy steel for wagons, Grove made use of his extensive knowledge of hydraulics to develop a rudimentary crane, JLG lifts was borne and the rest is history.
JLG lifts' range of electric scissor lifts cover a multitude of applications – both inside and out. JLG offer three ranges of electric scissor lifts.
1. The ES series
2. The LE series
3. The LiftLux™ Electric Series
Therefore one can clearly see that by providing a versatile choice to suit all types of applications, these lifts sure does stand above its competitors in the hydraulic lifts category.
Scissor lifts are used where less outreach but more workspace and lifting capacity are required. They are designed to provide larger platform work areas to walk on and generally allow for heavier loads than boom lifts. Scissor lifts may be manouevred in a manner similar to boom lifts but the platform may be raised only vertically, except for a deck extension that provides some horizontal outreach and additional working area.
These days lifts are also technologically capable and fully equip to handle the strains of a bustling and thriving metropolis. According to Robbert Monteban, JLG Director of Marketing EAME, “A lot of attention has been paid to the products’ usability and safety. This resulted in improvements such as an easier to use 4-way joystick that also features a trigger and thumb operated steer switch. Operators have full, proportional control over drive, swing, lift and jib functions.”
The specifications for JLG lifts are as follows:
• A full range of platform heights from 19 ft. to 40 ft.
• Long battery duty cycles for hours of operation in multi-shift conditions
• Smooth controls combined with fast lift and drive speeds provide improved productivity for the operator
• ES Series designed specifically for rental markets
Typical Applications for Electric Scissor Lifts:
◦ Construction
◦ Industrial
◦ Maintenance
◦ Distribution
◦ Entertainment and institutional users
◦ Warehousing and distribution centers
◦ Hotel, recreation and educational facilities
Sources have showed that sales have been steadily climbing and justly so, as time has shown that improvements and dedication sure do pay off in the end, literally, as the industrial boom ensures the steady production and growth of JLG lifts.
