Why Choose Electric Access Platforms?
Modern electric access platforms deliver the performance required for construction, facilities management, warehousing and maintenance applications without the noise, emissions and fuel costs associated with traditional diesel machines. From compact 6m indoor scissor lifts to 20m+ rough terrain boom lifts, today’s electric range covers the full spectrum of access requirements.
Whether you’re looking for an electric scissor lift for indoor work or an electric cherry picker for low-emission projects, today’s battery-powered machines offer longer run times, lower maintenance requirements and exceptional working performance.
Electric Scissor Lifts
Looking for an electric scissor lift that doesn’t compromise on runtime?
Modern battery innovations have eliminated the mid-shift drop-off. Equipped with non-marking tyres for sensitive indoor slab floors, our electric slab scissors offer compact footprints to navigate tight warehouse aisles easily – making them the go-to indoor scissor lift for facilities management and warehousing applications. For smaller sites and restricted access areas, compact small electric scissor lifts deliver full platform performance without the footprint. For rugged outdoor settings, the JLG electric rough-terrain scissor lifts utilise independent electric motors to deliver the exact same gradeability and 4WD clearance as diesel alternatives – minus the exhaust fumes.
Electric Cherry Pickers & Boom Lifts
Don’t let emission regulations stall your next project.
Our fleet of electric cherry pickers and electric boom lifts delivers the outreach and working height your site demands without the emissions, noise or running costs of a diesel counterpart. As authorised JLG distributors, we stock electric articulating boom lifts engineered for both indoor and outdoor use – from urban construction and facilities management to overnight public works where emissions restrictions apply. Foam-filled rough-terrain tyres, oscillating axles and sealed AC drive motors mean these machines perform in the same conditions as any diesel alternative. Fast-charging and advanced battery regeneration keep them operational across extended multi-shift projects.

Frequently Asked Electric MEWP Questions
Can electric cherry pickers be used outdoors?
A common misconception is that electric cherry pickers are strictly for smooth, indoor warehouse floors. While compact “slab” models exist, manufacturers now build heavy-duty rough-terrain electric cherry pickers engineered specifically for the outdoors.
These rugged electric machines feature advanced four-wheel drive (4WD) systems, oscillating axles, foam-filled rough-terrain tires, and gradeability of up to 45%—meaning they can navigate mud, gravel, and steep construction site inclines just as easily as any diesel engine. Thanks to sealed AC drive motors with high waterproof and dustproof IP ratings, they perform flawlessly in heavy rain and harsh outdoor weather conditions.
Can an electric scissor lift be used outside on rough terrain?
Yes. While traditional electric slab scissors are built for smooth indoor floors, modern electric rough-terrain scissor lifts feature robust 4WD systems, heavy-duty tires, and high ground clearance that match the performance of diesel alternatives on uneven construction sites.
How long does the battery last on an electric cherry picker?
Most industrial electric cherry pickers are engineered to comfortably last a full, continuous 8-to-12-hour work shift on a single charge. Many models feature smart onboard chargers and regenerative braking systems that feed energy back into the battery during lowering operations.
Why should I choose an electric lift over a diesel (ICE) lift?
Electric lifts protect your bottom line and expand your project pipeline. They offer zero-emission operation required for indoor spaces and urban Low Emission Zones, operate quietly to bypass noise curfews, and significantly reduce total cost of ownership by eliminating fuel costs and reducing mechanical moving parts by up to 70%.
Why should I use an electric cherry picker over a diesel (ICE) alternative?
Switching to an electric cherry picker offers three undeniable commercial advantages over internal combustion engines:
Drastically Lower Running Costs: Electric machines utilize energy with pinpoint efficiency. While a diesel engine constantly burns expensive fuel while idling statically at height, an electric motor draws zero power the second the operator releases the controls. This slashes weekly on-site energy costs by up to 70-80%.
Reduced Maintenance Downtime: Electric powertrains eliminate the most volatile points of failure. With no engine oil, fuel filters, spark plugs, drive belts, or complex exhaust after-treatment systems to service, scheduled mechanical maintenance costs are reduced by up to 70% over the machine’s lifespan.
Total Site Versatility & Compliance: An electric cherry picker future-proofs your business. It allows you to bid on premium municipal contracts with strict clean-air mandates, operate inside enclosed spaces without hazardous fume build-up, and execute urban night shifts completely free from local noise curfew penalties.
