A Customer’s Perspective on JLG’s Enhanced Low-Level Access Lifts

It’s time to look at the job differently. You need new ways to reduce long-term costs associated with ladder and scaffolding injuries or falls. Your team needs smart, safe ways to get work done.

Hear from Nathan, a general contractor and construction professional, about how JLG^® low-level access lifts are helping contractors just like you solve problems and mitigate risk on the job site.

 

 

 

Ladder Replacement

Working in tight spaces? Need stability on sensitive indoor surfaces? Skip the ladder. These versatile lifts fit through standard single doorways and allow crews to work comfortably at height with 360-degree range of motion. JLG can help your team do it efficiently and comfortably without the risk of ladders.

“Low-level access platforms are easy to get into tight spaces. You can do heavy-duty work; they're comfortable to work on all day. You're not up and down the stairs. You're not carrying things up and down them. So, we've primarily been focusing on using the low-level access platforms as an effort to reduce ladders on the project. This is a solution that these are just as efficient and more safe than our conventional usage of ladders. The comfortability of knowing people are safer up on top of the access platform was just a huge value.”

 

Scaffold Replacement

Don’t trouble with unwieldy scaffolds. JLG low-level access lifts help crews work more efficiently while creating a better operator experience, allowing operators to work quickly and securely, without unnecessary risks.

“There's just a ton of components that go into putting together and disassembling and tracking and using a mobile scaffold. for a 1030P lift or an 830P lift, and it all comes together, and it has specific safety features on it, but you just roll that into place and it's ready to use. You don't have to put it together. You don't have to take it apart to move it to where your next locational work is going to be. It's a one-stop shop from access from ground level and up, so it just makes it that much more easy and efficient. On a scale of one to 10, one being extremely easy and 10 being very difficult, I would give it a one. It was extremely easy to familiarize my team with the lifts themselves and to immediately put them into efficient work use.”

 

Dependability at Height

With an innovative line of improved lift options, JLG can help your team meet challenges efficiently and comfortably, without the use of ladders or scaffolds.

“They were flawless the whole time, and that's the thing that we like about 'em as well. There's not a lot of things to them, so with the ladder, nothing can really break on it other than physical things. With these lifts as well, very minimal opportunity for failure and what we've experienced today is zero fail.”

 

Innovation at Height

The future of working at height has arrived. JLG provides industry-leading innovations to help your team get the job done more efficiently.

“It provides just a sense of relief and excitement that the industry is moving in the right direction to start to try to reduce the amount of work we do on ladders on the project. And we've got a partner like JLG that is manufacturing and seeing this as a future need in the construction industry to continue to send folks home safely each day. Because work at heights is not going away. But working at heights safer is definitely something I think we need to continue to focus on in the construction industries. And it seems like every time we have a unique situation where we need to access an area that's difficult, the piece of equipment that always ends up coming out has JLG written on the side of it. JLG equipment continues to solve unique problems for us over and over again.”
