The new hybrid machine signals a shift in policy by the manufacturer towards more environmentally friendly models, as indicated by the 40ft all electric 1218RE Rough Terrain scissor lift which is also launched today.

The AB18HJ is essentially a battery powered, four wheel drive unit with oscillating axle and 40 percent gradeability, which is available as the plain EJ all electric, while the HJ also has an onboard diesel to drive the electrics and recharge the battery pack if desired. The full specifications have yet to be released, but the machine features a dual short risers which remain largely inboard when stowed, topped by a two section telescopic boom and a relatively long articulated jib. It also offers an unrestricted platform capacity of 230kg. The company has also updated its 52ft boom lift the AB16EJ.
