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.

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

Key features:

• Work Platform: vertical rail system for added protection
• Auto-lock brakes: engaged upon elevation for improved stability
• Compact footprint: 28 in x 33.5 in platform - ideal for tight workspaces. 
• Maneuverable design: easily fits through most doorways and freight elevators
• Enhanced maneuverability: easy-lock caster wheels with better swivel for fast positioning

Rated for one operator in the platform, the JLG 1230P has a lightweight design, weighing less than 1,000 lb, and low ground-bearing pressure, making it an ideal option when working on sensitive floors, said the company.

With a focus on durability, maneuverability and user experience, JLG has made a series of improvements to its push-around and non-powered lifts, making them even more practical for a variety of applications.

Improvements include:

• Ergonomic steel platforms: easier access, better grip and increased durability
• Punched platform holes: enhanced visibility, drainage and airflow
• Upgraded vertical rails (excluding the 1030P): added protection for operators at height
• Improved casters: easier locking, unlocking and maneuverability
• Auto-lock brakes: standard on all push-around models for increased stability

The low level access product family provide indoor solutions tailored to mechanical and electrical trades, HVAC, construction, facility maintenance, retail, healthcare and data centers.

“The introduction of the 1230P model and the latest product enhancements are designed to help operators maximize efficiency and minimize operational risks,” said Bob Begley, Director of Product Management – Low Level Access, JLG. “With their lightweight designs, compact footprints and advanced safety features, JLG’s low level access solutions continue to provide a safe, efficient alternative to ladders and scaffolding in facility maintenance, commercial construction and industrial applications.”
