Electrifying construction equipment
Over the past few years, manufacturers have increased the number of hybrids and battery-powered machines available to their customers, including rental stores. Certain categories of equipment are making the transition from diesel or gas-only power to incorporate new technologies, such as light towers, aerial lifts and mini excavators.
As electric power cars become more of a norm than a novelty, and battery technology continues to advance, the likelihood of more manufacturers switching to alternative power for construction equipment becomes greater.
“We anticipate a continued increase in interest surrounding hybrid, dual fuel and alternative energy machines moving forward,” says Bill Dovey, senior product manager, aerial work platforms, JLG Industries, an Oshkosh Corp. company, McConnellsburg, Pa.
Zach Gilmor, Genie product manager, Terex AWP, Redmond, Wash., says the market for hybrid equipment specifically is driven by a couple of factors — the versatility offered by the hybrid powertrain and the desirability of a lower-cost solution to Tier 4 emissions regulations.

Similar, Not the Same: Finding the Right Scissor for Your Job
When it comes to
scissor lifts there are several factors you need to consider before
deciding on which machine is best for your particular application.
What’s your budget? At what height do you need to work? Will you be
working inside, outside or both? Will you have access to a power source
to charge the machine? The list is virtually endless.
These are some of
the general questions you will want to ask when purchasing or renting a
scissor lift. Answers to these questions will help guide you towards the
right unit for the job in terms of general specifications, but as with
all equipment, additional features beyond height and weight
differentiate one scissor brand from another. So, while all scissor lifts may look similar, they are not the same.
Many scissor lift
models allow operators to complete a specific task, but how efficiently
that task is accomplished, along with the safety, serviceability and
durability of the machine will be impacted by the model selected. Add to
that any advanced technologies built into the machine and you’ll
quickly find there are several differentiating factors among various
brands that can impact your return on investment (ROI), so do your
research and choose wisely.

JLG® Scissor Lifts: How Variable Tilt Technology Works
Most slab scissor lifts can’t elevate when working on a side slope greater than 1.5 degrees. Watch this video to learn how select JLG® scissor lifts boost productivity with variable tilt technology. Variable tilt technology provides a larger working envelope by allowing the machine to lift on slight side slopes while limiting platform height.

Guess what new1981 feature made the JLG scissor lift more maneuverabile?
In 1986, our 10,000th boom lift came off the assembly line, and it included a new feature (introduced in 1981) that improved maneuverability. Can you guess what that feature was? http://ow.ly/QYB030lfK3g
