JLG innovates low-level access

JLG Industries has introduced the all-new JLG 1230P push-around lift. Designed to provide greater reach, support safety and increase efficiency, the 1230P is the latest innovation in JLG’s growing line of low-level access products. Alongside the introduction of the 1230P, JLG has made significant updates across its entire low-level access line, including to its 830P and 1030P push-around lifts and non-powered EcoLift 50 and EcoLift 70 models. This line-wide upgrade reinforces JLG’s commitment to operator safety, productivity, and ease of use.

Designed to provide a productive and cost-effective alternative to traditional ladders and scaffolding, the JLG 1230P offers a working height of 17ft 4in, has a 440lb platform capacity and provides 360deg, hands-free access to overhead work areas, enabling operators to complete tasks at height efficiently and comfortably while minimizing fatigue.

Key features of the 1230P include:

• Work Platform: Vertical rail system for added protection
• Auto-lock brakes: Engaged upon elevation for improved stability
• Compact footprint: 28in x 33.5in platform, ideal for tight workspaces and
• Manoeuvrable design: Easily fits through most doorways and freight elevators
