JLG Industries Inc., has unveiled its JLG LiftPod FT140, the latest from the company in personal, portable lifts. The new FT140 has a platform height of 14 ft. and a working height of 20 ft.; like other LiftPod products, the FT140 is assembled, operated, and transported with ease. It's designed to provide facility, safety, and trade professionals an alternative to ladders and scaffolding.
The JLG FT140 features a new telescoping mast that provides clearance when you need it and is easily stowed when you want it, allowing workers to stand in an enclosed platform and move hands-free in a 360° range of motion. The platform also includes a lanyard anchorage point for tying off at height.
This new model consists of three lightweight components for simple assembly and disassembly. Casters on the back wheels make it easy for one person to move the LiftPod, increasing workplace efficiency and productivity. When disassembled, the LiftPod fits in the back of a pickup truck, van, or SUV for easy portability between work sites.
The FT140 is powered by a new dual 36V lithium-ion battery system, providing dependable performance. A work tray is designed to increase jobsite productivity holding up to 33 lbs. of tools and materials, with a total platform capacity of 330-lb. The FT140 is also designed with an aircraft quality aluminum mast.
“We listened to our customers and developed the new JLG FT Series family to address their wants and needs for an affordable and portable solution to provide the reach they require, and making the JLG FT Series a great addition to a jobsite or facility they cannot do without,” said Randy Marzicola, JLG Industries director of channel development.
“In addition, the JLG FT140 offers an affordable AWP solution to workplace height challenges, especially when compared to traditional access lifts,” noted Marzicola. “It has an attractive price point – under $4,999 – compared to other entry-level lifts.”
