JLG ES4046 ELECTRIC SCISSOR LIFT

JLG likes to plug in, we know, and it confirms this vocation with the ES4046 electrically powered scissor lift. A choice that is anything but obvious. We made you aware of Zoomlion‘s choice to retain an internal combustione engine series, powered by Kubota.

JLG ES4046 shows its face

“This model completes the JLG family of ES Series scissors, and the added value isn’t just with the updated specs,” said Bob Begley, JLG director of product management. “JLG ClearSky Smart Fleet comes standard, and the future-focused design supports facilities’ daily tasks by providing efficiency and enhancing battery life.” In supporting the conversion to batteries, JLG reported that productivity has improved with more than 40 per cent more work cycles than its hydraulically powered previous model, allowing operators to work longer on a single charge. Application-driven design includes a zero turning radius which provides access to narrow aisles and tight overhead spaces. The ES4046 is also the tallest pantograph in the ES series, reaching a walking height of 8.75 m in outdoor use and 11.9 m in indoor use, and with the lowest gross weight in its class. When used indoors, it can carry up to three operators together, the highest occupancy capacity of any ES Series model.

Speaking of electrification benefits

The ES4046 is the first scissor lift in the ES series to use maintenance-free AC motors, which help to increase efficiency, reduce noise and provide 50 per cent higher speed than previous JLG models of this size. Maintenance time and costs are also reduced thanks to the integration of common parts, fewer hoses and fittings and a single lifting cylinder. The ES4046 is available with the JLG ClearSky Smart Fleet, the industry’s first bi-directional fleet management and communication platform, which facilitates fleet monitoring. Optional features include the CleanGuard spill containment system for working on fragile terrain, a 900-watt inverter for loading implements, and an improved SkySense obstacle detection system that sets warning zones and safety distances in machine movement directions, helping to protect workers.
