Dingli AC+ scissor lifts

Chinese manufacturer Dingli, has introduced a new range slab electric scissor lifts - essentially a major upgrade of its current AC series series - with the first units due off the line shortly.

The new AC+ line up comprises eight models from 19ft to 46ft, with four overall widths - 760mm, 830mm, 1.2 metres and 1.4 metres - with platform capacities ranging from 250kg to 450kg. The nomenclature is also greatly simplified, with the JCPT prefix dropped, so that for example the JCPT1612AC becomes the S1612AC+.

The AC+ range includes higher platform capacities for each width and height, along with numerous other significant improvements, including electric actuator steering in place of the hydraulic cylinder, leaving platform lift as the only hydraulically operated function on the machine. The new range also comes with what the company describes as a ‘Three-Year Comprehensive Warranty’

The other main improvements include:
- New side and rear fork pockets located at the top of the chassis for improved stability when lifting and moving the machine.

The first units will come off the production line over the next few weeks.

Dingli has a history of regularly upgraded and improving its slab electric scissor lift ranges, moving from hydraulic wheel drive motors to DC electric wheel motors and more recently AC electric wheel drive motors, and now the AC+ series which builds on the AC drive models. At the same time the company has introduced a growing range of ‘Hydraulic oil-free’ models which uses electric actuators to elevate the platform as well as steer, entirely eliminating the hydraulics
