JLG Australia has now launched the LiftPod, the lightweight one man portable lift. The company says that it fills the gap between ladders and larger aerial work platforms for one-person lift applications. It provides a working height of 4.4 metres, 150 kgs lift capacity and weighs just 70 kgs.
The steel base plate is fitted with non-marking polyurethane wheels with a castor mechanism that retracts automatically when the LiftPod is in use. The first unit, the LiftPod Model FS80 features a 600mm x 500mm work platform and includes a work tray for tools and materials. The unit is made up of three main components, the base, mast and platform each of which weighs no more than 29 kgs. It can be quickly disassembled without tools to allow it to be loaded into a van or carried upstairs.
