JLG has announced a new 60ft all electric articulated boom lift for the North American market - the EC600AJ.
It features a two section telescopic riser topped by a two section telescopic boom and jib with 130 degrees of articulation, providing a working height of 20.2 metres, with dual platform capacity - 250kg/550lbs unrestricted for the maximum outreach of 11 metres/36ft, at an up & over clearance height of just over eight metres/27ft. And 340kg/750lbs, available at up to 10 metres/33ft outreach. Slew is limited to 400 degrees - so non continuous.
Power comes from two 48v /210Ah lithium ion batteries, driving four AC direct wheel drive motors, two wheel steering is standard, with a four wheel steer an option. Non marking, non-directional poly filled Rough Terrain tires are standard.
The new machine has an overall width of 2.46 metres, with a stowed length of 8.29 metres - the jib does not appear to tuck under - while the overall weight is around 8.7 tonnes, allowing two units to fit onto one trailer. The overall height is just over 2.5 metres.
Product manager Angela Patterson said: "We have focused on making the EC600AJ both powerful and practical, part of a new generation of JLG boom lifts designed with job sites of tomorrow in mind. This model demonstrates our ongoing commitment to electrification while meeting the rugged demands of a construction environment, with performance capabilities similar to those of its diesel counterparts. The EC600AJ's articulating design provides the versatility and precise positioning capabilities that modern construction and maintenance operations demand, all while delivering the environmental benefits and lower total cost of ownership of an electric platform."
The new machine will go into production in the summer.
