JLG Introduces ES1930M Micro-Sized Scissor Lift

JLG Industries is entering the fast-growing micro-sized scissor lift market with the launch of the new JLG  ES1930M electric model.

Designed to meet the demands of modern job sites, the ES1930M delivers compact size, lightweight structure and maneuverability in congested work environments where access and efficiency are prioritized.

“As today’s job sites evolve, we’re seeing a growing need for access solutions that have a small footprint and slim profile, are reduced weight and are agile, especially in sectors like data centers, schools, airports and facilities maintenance,” says Bob Begley, director of product management – scissor lifts, JLG. “Tailored for indoor applications requiring minimal intrusion and maximum control, the ES1930M was developed in response to those trends, incorporating design choices that improve operator experience, reduce maintenance requirements and meet the practical challenges of working in tight or sensitive spaces.”

The ES1930M efficiently fits through standard doorways, navigates tight hallways and works in confined areas thanks to its fixed rail design and zero-degree inside turning radius. Its compact design enables it to be one of multiple machines working together in a confined area like museums, casinos and universities.

Standard leak containment features help protect delicate, weight-sensitive flooring and finished environments, and JLG’s variable tilt technology maximizes the work envelope when working on slight slopes.

In addition, a newly designed arm stack and offset middle pin configuration deliver more platform stability and minimal sway, giving operators a confident “feel” while working at height.

With an optimized duty cycle, a platform capacity of 500-lb and optional features like an integrated Mid-Rail Deck, 900W Inverter, additional single amber beacon, anti-vandalism package, hostile environment package and white noise alarm, the ES1930M supports efficient worksite operation and operator awareness.

The single lift cylinder and improved wiring harness design minimize leak points and reduce maintenance time. Integrated ClearSky Smart Fleet IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity enables real-time remote diagnostics and 80% parts commonality with other JLG scissor lifts to lower total cost of ownership.

“With the ES1930M, JLG is set to enter and lead in the expanding ‘micro’ scissor lift category, delivering a machine purpose-built for real-world work-at-height challenges,” Begley said.
