LiuGong has announced its return to Vertikal Days will be marked with the showcase of three aerial work platforms (AWPs).
Two scissor lifts – the LS0608E and LS1216HC – will take pride of place on the stand alongside the LA16JE one boom lift. All three machines will be debuting their new green livery.
“Since joining the LiuGong team earlier this year, I’m honoured to lead our booth at Vertikal Days for the first time as LiuGong’s AWP sales manager,” said Glyn Goodwin. “We’ve been eagerly anticipating this event and have been carefully planning it since my appointment.
“We’re excited to present our latest range of AWPs with their outstanding green livery, showcasing LiuGong’s commitment to sustainability with our entire access machinery range being battery-powered. This show enables us to highlight our extensive range of scissor lifts and boom lifts, covering working heights from 6m to 30m, and to preview some exciting upcoming products.”
The LA16JE is an articulating boom lift with a maximum working height of 17.8m and a platform load capacity of 260kg. It features pure electric power with a 51.2V battery for zero emissions and low noise, ‘advanced’ safety with dual-channel sensors, automatic braking, and a 360° rotating turret. Its compact design, with a turning radius of just 2.06m (inside), is said to ensure efficient performance even in tight spaces.
The LSC0608E is an electric scissor lift with a maximum working height of 7.8m and a platform load capacity of 230kg. Powered by a 24V battery, the compact design boasts a tight turning radius of just 0.3m (inside) and 1.78m (outside).
The LS1216HC is a crawler scissor lift with maximum working height of 14m and a platform load capacity of 320kg. It operates on a 48V battery. With a 30% gradeability, 0.4m ground clearance, and low ground pressure, LiuGong said the machine ‘excels’ in off-road terrains. The steel crawler, equipped with rubber pads, ensures ‘superior traction and longer durability’, while its four automatic outriggers, which can be independently operated, provide ‘enhanced’ stability.
LiuGong added that the company is at the forefront of driving a ‘revolutionary wave’ in BEV R&D, with plans to launch over 40 BEV models by 2027, including new electric excavators, wheel loaders, telehandlers and access equipment.
“We are delighted to return to Vertikal Days this year, showcasing our full range of capabilities in the access sector,” added LiuGong Europe chairman Howard Dale. “Our new green livery highlights LiuGong’s leadership in the BEV sector, featuring a robust line-up of electric machines designed for diverse applications in the UK market.”
