JLG announced several new scissor lifts at CONEXPO this week, including the all-electric Davinci, the diesel-powered rough-terrain RT4769, and the battery-powered rough-terrain ERT4769.
About The Davinci AE1932
JLG’s first all-electric scissor lift, the Davinci, is named for the famous inventor due to its “fully optimized components which allow it to be powered with a single lithium-ion battery and no compromise to performance,” the company says. The lift has a 19-foot platform that’s 32 inches wide with a 600-pound capacity. JLG says it can travel two times faster than a standard scissor lift and charges three times faster. The single lithium-ion battery is expected to last for more than 120 months, meaning the battery should last as long as the machine. The Davinci will also be the first scissor lift to recover energy as the platform lowers, reducing power consumption and allowing longer times between charging.
“The Davinci AE1932 is an intelligent machine that conducts self-diagnostics and allows operators to test all systems on their mobile device. This eliminates the more traditional hand-held analyzer,” says Rafael Nuñez, senior product manager, scissor lifts, JLG. “Having the ability to proactively keep track of a machine’s health improves the total cost of ownership, an equation JLG is committed to improving.”
About The RT4769 & ERT4769
The new line of rough-terrain and electric rough-terrain scissor lifts are 69 inches wide with height choices of 26, 33, 40, and 47 feet. Every model is available with either a diesel engine or a battery power source and electric drive. JLG says the lifts also include the industry’s first LCD platform control box. LiftSense monitors weight and tilt on the platform to tell the operator how high they can elevate the platform in advance. Another helpful feature is QuikLevel Advanced, which enables a stowed scissor to level on a side slope of up to 5 degrees while driving at full height under certain conditions, a move that traditionally required manual adjustment.
“Our new line of rough-terrain scissors were purpose-built with a focus on minimizing the job site pain points of our customers,” says Nuñez. “The new ANSI 92.20 requirements necessitated changes to our existing rough-terrain models. Instead of simply making these changes, we engaged with customers around the world to better understand their needs, then looked at market trends such as urbanization before deciding that a from-the-ground-up approach was required.”
