New Case Study Highlights the JLG DaVinci Lift’s Performance in Cold Temperatures
Productivity in below-freezing conditions unlocks new possibilities and applications
JLG Industries, Inc. announced the release of its new case study, “JLG DaVinci Lift Proves Itself in Cold-Temperature Applications.” Recently, JLG partnered with Sunbelt Rentals to evaluate the industry’s first all-electric scissor lift’s performance in below-freezing conditions, and the results highlighted in the case study prove how far battery technology has advanced in the aerial industry. The case study is available for download on JLG #DirectAccess.
“Electric machine operation and productivity in conditions below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) have traditionally been a huge concern in cold-temperature applications, like in refrigerated food processing warehouses, cold storage facilities, vaccine laboratories or outdoors in the winter,” says Bob Begley, JLG’s director of product management for scissor, vertical and low-level access lifts. “That’s because working in these types of conditions can impact electric equipment performance, resulting in slow, sluggish functionality and reduced battery runtime by up to 50 percent, partly due to hydraulics and previous battery technology.”
