Need Productivity in Low-Level Access Places? Try a Non-Powered EcoLift?

The use of ladders, scaffolding and podiums to reach low-level work at height has peaked. These outdated tools simply cannot measure up to modern-day safety and productivity standards.

For situations where a ladder, scaffolding or podium was once used but is no longer the best option to reach work at height, JLG’s EcoLift? series of low-level access lifts offer operators an alternative . Equipped with an innovative lift/lower mechanism that is easier to use, operators can get to height to work comfortably with both hands and a 360-degree range of motion — all while reducing fatigue and eliminating the hassle of carrying tools and supplies up and down ladders and scaffolding. These benefits combine to give operators more confidence to tackle low-level tasks like changing light bulbs, hanging décor or accessing HVAC ductwork.

And, JLG? EcoLifts are power-free and have no oil, batteries or hydraulics, making them an eco-friendly, non-disruptive solution for sensitive environments. Let’s take a closer look at these machines…

Key specs

JLG has two EcoLift models to choose from: The EcoLift 50 has a platform height of 5-ft, offering a working height of 11-ft. The EcoLift 70 has a platform height of 7-ft -3 in, offering a working height of 13-ft.

Both EcoLift models are rated for indoor-use only.

Key features

EcoLifts are designed to offer efficient work in a facility or office setting. Highlights of these JLG non-powered, low-level access machines include:

Productivity

• These machines offer unrestricted lift cycles and can be used 24/7
• EcoLifts are up to 4x faster to use than scaffolding or ladders, especially since these models can reach a full working height in 11 seconds
• These models can be maneuvered around aisles and through doorways. Both can fit through a single doorway?
• EcoLifts can be used on sensitive flooring thanks to their lightweight design with low ground-bearing pressure

Ease of use

• No power is required to operate, eliminating the need for charging and resulting in less downtime
• A patented lift mechanism utilizes a gas-pressurized cylinder and gravity, along with 10% of the operator’s body strength, to elevate the machine??
• The auto-brake feature engages when the operator steps onto the platform / enters the machine

Ergonomically friendly

• There?is less stress on operators due to climbing, bending, twisting, etc. that typically happens on ladders and scaffolding

Eco-friendly

• Battery and oil-free which means there is no need to charge, add water or add lubricant — operators can just go to work! And, there is no need to worry about spills or leaks
• EcoLifts are ideal for use in quiet locations. With no alarms or flashing beacons, they provide minimal sound disturbance to sensitive work environments
