All Electric Scissor Lift to Enhance Versatility and Efficiency for Work sites

The mega trend of urbanization will continue to drive the construction industry towards a world where electric vehicles are the future of the job site. Construction equipment versatility, efficiency, and productivity are key metrics in access industry business. To solve these problems, JLG has designed an all-electric scissor lift model. The DaVinci scissor lift is JLG�s vision of the ideal slab scissor featuring less maintenance and fewer parts. Electric scissor lifts can handle multiple situations, environments and duties replacing conventional ones where the scope has been more limited. They can go indoors and outdoors because they are quieter and cleaner. This machine opens new opportunities in precision and agility in reach and lift, with an emphasis on control system algorithms rather than hydraulic system architecture. Electrification of scissor lifts stands to create the ideal machine by extending the drive train to functions traditionally managed by hydraulic to electric functionality rather than reliance on hydraulics and fuel systems. Hydraulic fluid leaks and flooded lead acid battery maintenance can lead to a large financial impact significant to both the rental company and the contractor who rents the machine meaning that the DaVinci scissor offers a lower total cost of ownership. Electric scissors also lead to relatively straightforward troubleshooting, with screen-based diagnostics and capabilities for remote access, displays in these machines will tell you exactly how to solve issues that arise. Prototypes and user study have resulted in a promising feature in JLG�s machine to enhance the overarching objective, which is equipment safety and productivity.
