Choose the Scissor that Makes Sense for You

You have options with JLG® scissor lifts. Consider our full range of models, knowing you don’t have to compromise on the attributes that matter to you most.

R Series

Value-Based Features
for Rugged Reliability

R Series scissor lifts are perfect for rental thanks to serviceable components and durability-enhancing features like active pothole protection. Arm your fleet with cost-effective scissor lifts that deliver on technology and performance. Complete general construction tasks, or access overhead work during HVAC maintenance, painting or electrical jobs.

ES Series

Premium Features
for Enhanced Performance

ES Series scissor lifts offer up to double the battery life than comparable models thanks to their electric drive system. That—combined with faster travel speeds, improved gradeability and fewer leak points—makes them ideal for sensitive work and long shifts, while giving users the confidence that they’ll have enough power to load them onto the truck at the end of the day.
