JLG Liftlux 153–12 – 17.30m Electric Scissor Lift: High Reach, Precise Power
The JLG Liftlux 153–12 stands as a testament to powerful and precise electric access. This heavy-duty electric scissor lift is engineered to provide exceptional vertical reach and robust lifting capacity, making it an indispensable tool for a wide array of high-bay and elevated work applications. Its electric power source ensures quiet, emission-free operation, making it perfectly suited for sensitive indoor environments, clean facilities, and areas where noise reduction is critical.
Features
- 17.30m (56 ft 9 in) Max. Working Height: Offers an impressive vertical reach, allowing operators to safely and efficiently access very high ceilings, complex installations, and elevated structures in large industrial buildings, shopping centers, or convention halls.
- 15.30m (50 ft 2 in) Max. Platform Height: The height of the platform floor when fully extended.
- 500 kg (1,100 lbs) Safe Working Load (SWL) / Platform Capacity: Boasts a substantial lifting capacity, capable of accommodating two operators along with a significant amount of tools, equipment, and materials, enhancing productivity for heavy-duty tasks.
- Electric Power for Clean & Quiet Operation:
- Powered by a robust 48V DC battery system (typically 2 x 24V x 350 Ah Gel traction cells, providing a total of 48V).
- Provides zero emissions, making it ideal for indoor use, cleanrooms, food processing plants, airports, and other environments where air quality is paramount.
- Offers ultra-quiet operation, minimizing disruption in occupied buildings, retail spaces, or during off-peak hours.
- Equipped with an on-board automatic battery charger (e.g., 220V, 50 Amp or 110V/240V 48V x 40 Amp), allowing convenient recharging from standard power outlets.
- Narrow 1.20m (3 ft 11 in) Overall Width: Despite its impressive working height, the JLG Liftlux 153–12 maintains a narrow profile. This allows it to easily navigate through standard double doorways, tight aisles in warehouses, and congested areas, maximizing access within confined indoor spaces.
- Spacious & Extendable Platform:
- Large Stowed Platform Dimensions: Approx. 1.16m x 3.91m (3 ft 10 in x 12 ft 10 in), providing ample working space for operators and materials.
- 1.49m (4 ft 11 in) Manual Roll-out Deck Extension: Significantly increases the platform length to approx. 5.40m (17 ft 9 in), allowing operators to reach over obstacles or cover a larger working area without repositioning the entire machine.
- Excellent Maneuverability: Features front-wheel drive and steer with large diameter wheels, providing superb mobility and precise positioning in tight spaces. Its compact turning radius further aids maneuverability.
- Solid, Non-Marking Tyres: Ensures excellent traction and stability on concrete or finished floors while preventing unsightly marks or damage, making it suitable for polished or sensitive surfaces.
- Hydraulic Drive & Braking: Utilizes a hydraulic transmission with dual motor front-wheel drive and steer, coupled with automatic dual-wheel brakes for smooth, controlled movement and secure stopping.
- Comprehensive Safety Features: Includes a load sensing system, 3-degree tilt indicator light with cut-out, ground control selector switch with key lock, proportional drive control, two-speed drive selection, battery condition indicator, hour meter, horn, and manual descent system for emergency lowering. Steel mesh scissor guards enhance safety.
- Robust & Durable Construction: Liftlux machines are renowned for their heavy-duty, all-steel construction, designed for exceptional rigidity, stability, and longevity, even under continuous demanding use. Full grease lubrication on all scissor arm bushings ensures smooth operation and extended component life.
- Fold-down Guardrails: Facilitates transport and movement through areas with lower overhead clearances.
Applications
The JLG Liftlux 153–12 is exceptionally well-suited for high-level indoor applications requiring significant reach, capacity, and environmental considerations:
