In 1970, JLG introduced aerial work platforms and the company has continued to develop its extensive collection of JLG manlifts. Interestingly, manlift is often used interchangeably with aerial lift, aerial work platform or mobile elevated work platform. Plus, all of these terms refer to the multiple powered mobile platforms used to elevate people to various heights. While the initial manlifts were helpful for agricultural workers picking fruit (aka, cherry pickers), the industry has expanded to many more sectors. From construction to telecommunications, keeping valuable AWPs in operation requires quality replacement parts that fit each specific JLG model. This guide provides an overview of different types of JLG manlifts, as well as tips on finding quality replacement parts to maintain these lifts.
Types of JLG Manlifts
JLG manlifts are an invaluable tool in many industries. From power station construction and aircraft maintenance to concert arena setup and HVAC services, aerial lifts support the productivity and safety of personnel on the worksite as well as others who are or may eventually be present in those locations. Here are three types of JLG manlifts:
Boom Lifts
JLG boom lifts typically enable workers to reach the highest and often most challenging locations. These AWPs are also able to move workers over or around obstacles unlike other types of lifts. The JLG manlift inventory includes various articulating and telescopic boom lifts including the JLG 600s, as well as options for electric, hybrid or engine-powered lifts.
Scissor Lifts
A notable feature of the JLG scissor lift is that it offers larger platforms in comparison with other AWPs. For this type of manlift, JLG has a variety of both electric and engine-powered models. The JLG scissor lift collection also includes AWPs that are specifically designed for rough terrain. Additionally, the new DaVinci All-Electric Series offers a zero-emission lift alternative, which makes it especially valuable for sensitive indoor environments.
Vertical Mast Lifts
Maneuverability is one reason that these manlifts are so popular. Vertical mast lifts are typically more compact than other aerial lifts, so they can negotiate smaller spaces with ease. While their platform reach isn’t as great as boom or scissor lifts, these lifts are a safer alternative than ladders for a variety of indoor applications. JLG offers two types of vertical mast lifts – push around and driveable.
