JLG’s first electric telehandler

JLG has launched a North American version of Ausa’s 4 metre/1,600kg T164E battery powered electric telehandler, which becomes the JLG E313. The Ausa machine was unveiled at the end of 2022 and is based on a diesel model which is also available in North America.


The ANSI version of the ultra-compact telehandler offers a 3,500lbs maximum lift capacity, a 13.1ft maximum lift height at which at which point it can handle 1,800lbs, and a forward reach of 5.8ft with a capacity of 1,415lbs. The overall width is 4ft 10”, overall height 6ft 8” and overall length without forks 10ft 1”. Total weight is 7,340lbs. The new machine is equipped with a universal skid steer coupler system and includes an integrated hitch for towing.

The unit uses six maintenance free 48V lithium ion batteries, powered a two speed transmission with two wheel drive and steer, with a maximum road speed of 9.3mph. The battery pack is good for four hours of continuous operation and can be recharged in two to three hours on a 220 volt outlet, if limited to 110 volt it takes 11 to 12 hours. JLG's ClearSky Smart Fleet telematics management system is standard.

Product manager John Boehme said: "As job sites evolve, machines need to evolve with them. Our new E313 electric-powered telehandler transforms how work is done in emission free spaces and noise sensitive environments by delivering a quieter, more efficient working experience.”
