Reduce Work-at-Height Risks with JLG® Low-Level Access Solutions

When working at height, safety should be the top priority. Traditional ladders pose significant risks, including falls, worker fatigue, and inefficiency. JLG^® low-level access solutions, including the new 1230P push-around lift, provide a safe, productive alternative to ladders and scaffolding.

The Risks of Ladders in the Workplace

Ladders may be a common tool, but they come with serious hazards. Falls from ladders account for a significant number of workplace injuries each year, resulting in lost productivity and increased costs for businesses.

Common ladder-related risks include:

• Instability – Ladders can tip over easily, especially when workers overreach
• Limited Mobility – Workers must repeatedly climb up and down to move tools or adjust their positioning
• Fatigue and Strain – Standing on ladder rungs for extended periods leads to discomfort and decreased efficiency
• Inconsistent Safety Practices – Ladders often rely on users to follow safety guidelines, which can vary from use to use

JLG’s 1230P: Reaching New Heights

JLG’s new 1230P push-around lift eliminates many of the challenges associated with ladders. With an impressive working height of 17-ft 4-in and 440-lb load capacity, this lift enables operators to complete overhead tasks safely and hands-free, reducing the risks associated with ladder instability.

Key benefits of the 1230P over ladders:

• Increased Stability – The auto-lock brakes help ensure a firm base when elevated
• Hands-Free Operation – Workers can use both hands for tasks, unlike ladders that require one hand for balance
• Reduced Fatigue – A 28-in x 33.5-in platform allows for comfortable standing compared to ladder rungs
• Improved Maneuverability – Easy-lock caster wheels allow for quick repositioning without the need to pick up and reset

The 1230P’s lightweight design makes it ideal for indoor environments such as office buildings, hospitals and retail spaces, instead of using ladders in these settings.
