JLG Industries Inc. has redesigned, from the ground up, its T32E Toucan mast boom lift as well as the X500AJ and X600AJ compact crawler booms.
Upgrades to the T32E Toucan mast boom lift include 80% fewer hoses and fittings than its predecessor, the E33MJ lift. As a result, the T32E Toucan requires less maintenance and has fewer leak points. The T32E Toucan also includes a direct electric drive instead of a hydraulic drive for increased duty cycles and greater operator productivity on a single charge.
With a 47-in. wide base, the T32E Toucan is suitable for warehouse applications and manufacturing operations with tight aisles. And with a horizontal reach of 14 ft., the T32E Toucan can go up, out, and over to access high objects on either side of an aisle. The machine now has a faster travel speed (3 mph vs. 2.2 mph), the ability to climb steeper grades (25% vs. 20% ), and a new rotating platform (not available with the E33MJ).
The compact crawler, narrow and compact in design, can be used in multiple ways indoors and outdoors. The next generation of JLG compact crawler booms, X500AJ and X600AJ, have increased to 500 lbs. of unrestricted capacity throughout the working envelope.
The JLG X500AJ features a 56-ft. working height and 50-ft. platform height, and the X600AJ unit features a 66-ft. working height with a 60-ft. platform height, both lightweight for load-sensitive surfaces and ease of transport. The addition of forklift pockets and lifting hooks on the outriggers allow for convenient loading and positioning in challenging facility applications. Both machines offer a green lithium-ion battery option for quiet, clean, zero-emissions operation -- suitable for indoor and outdoor environments.
“Extensive upgrades will allow customers to better maneuver the machines, access more areas, and increase productivity on the jobsite,” said Jeff Ford, JLG Industries global product director – aerial work platforms.
