JLG continues to meets demand for zero emissions and noise control

JLG Industries is introducing new options for the ES electric slab scissor lift range, E18 driveable vertical mast lifts and E18MSP stock picker. The updates include standard AC drive motors and lithium-ion battery options, as the manufacturer continues to meet the requirements of zero-emission and noise-controlled job sites.

As part of this development, the ES1932, ES2632, ES2646 and ES3246 scissor lifts, and the DaVinci all-electric AE1932 model, will be available with AC drive motors as standard. These permanent magnet AC drive motors offer peak efficiency through lower energy consumption, require less battery draw and are virtually maintenance-free. The recently introduced ES4046 is already available in Europe with an AC drive motor as standard.

Some ES scissor lifts, as well as the E18 vertical lifts and the E18 stock picker, can also be fitted with lithium-ion batteries. Customers can choose between Lithium, which offers one battery on most models, and Lithium+, which provides an additional battery to further enhance duty cycles. These new options offer several benefits including zero performance degradation, fast charging capabilities and extended battery lifespan.

This upgrade will apply to the ES1330L, ES1530L and ES4046 within the first quarter of 2025, followed by the ES1932, ES2632, ES2646 and ES3246 later in the year. The E18 vertical lifts and the E18 stock picker are immediately available with these options.

“With these enhancements, JLG continues to offer market-leading solutions for construction and facility maintenance that meet the evolving needs of our customers,” says Nicola Sacchet, EMEAI product manager for boom, scissor and vertical products.
