JLG Industries is now offering its human-powered EcoLift 50 and EcoLift 70 low-level access lifts, as well as its push-around 830P and 1030P models, for retail sale through its Online Express e-commerce platform.
These machines offer an alternative to ladders and scaffolding to complete interior maintenance, facility management and fit-out and finish work.
According to Jennifer Stiansen, JLG’s director of marketing, JLG expanded its product line into the low-level access category in 2008 to provide people with a safer way to work at heights below 20 foot.
“Today, we offer products in this category with platform heights ranging from 4 feet, 11 inches to 13 feet, 3 inches and working heights from 10 feet, 11 inches to 19 feet 3 inches. And, all models weigh less than 1,000 pounds,” says Stiansen, “which makes them suitable for use on sensitive flooring and able to be pushed or rolled into place and between work areas, with no assembly or disassembly required.”
In addition to the productivity features and benefits low-level access lifts offer, Stiansen says that these machines are designed to reduce strain on the body and lessen the risk of musculoskeletal injuries caused by repetitive movements associated with climbing up and down a ladder with tools and materials, then extending to reach the work area while maintaining three points of contact.
JLG’s Online Express is an online retail site that has traditionally provided users with the ability to shop for parts, accessories and attachments by equipment serial number, part number or via a description.
