JLG Industries Inc has announced new features on its JLG E300 series boom lift models.
According to JLG, the E300 now provides over 20% more duty cycles, which means an operator can drive 6.6 miles (10.6km) and complete 175 lift cycles on a single charge. The new 305 amp-hour batteries offer an 18% improvement in recharging time and give owners a lower replacement cost, says JLG.
Other improvements include better break-over clearance, smoother swing function and a new multi-digital indicator that displays data including battery life, machine hours and fault codes.
