JLG E25MCL Launches with 25-Foot Platform Height for Confined Workspaces
30-Second Takeaway
The JLG E25MCL expands the manufacturer’s vertical mast lift range with a 25-foot platform height and 31-foot working height. It carries up to 350 pounds and features a narrow chassis, an extending platform deck and electric power. It is also the first JLG vertical mast lift equipped with progressive elevated drive technology, which adjusts travel speed as the platform rises.
New Vertical Mast Lift for North America
JLG Industries has launched the E25MCL, a higher-reaching addition to its electric vertical mast lift portfolio for the North American market. The machine is designed for confined indoor environments where operators need access at height alongside manoeuvrability around equipment, structures and other obstacles. Target applications include data centres, facility maintenance, commercial construction and industrial work.
Its compact dimensions provide an alternative for assignments where available floor space limits equipment selection.
Inside the JLG E25MCL
The E25MCL provides a maximum platform height of 25 feet, approximately 7.6 metres, and a working height of 31 feet, approximately 9.4 metres. Platform capacity is 350 pounds, approximately 159 kg, for one person with tools and materials. The platform is approximately 77 cm wide and incorporates a 48 cm deck extension rated for 265 pounds, approximately 120 kg. The extension rating forms part of the overall platform capacity.
The machine measures approximately 1.45 metres long and 805 mm wide, with an overall weight of approximately 1,243 kg. JLG lists a stowed height of 6 feet 6 inches, approximately 1.98 metres, and a zero inside turning radius to support manoeuvring in restricted spaces.
Progressive Elevated Drive Adjusts Speed at Height
The E25MCL is the first JLG vertical mast lift to feature the company’s progressive elevated drive technology. The system adjusts travel speed as the platform is raised, supporting repositioning during work at height. Its introduction brings a technology previously used elsewhere in JLG’s access equipment portfolio into the vertical mast lift range.
For tasks involving repeated movement between overhead work locations, elevated travel capability can help reduce the need to lower and raise the platform between positions, within the machine’s permitted operating conditions.
Variable Tilt Technology Supports the Working Envelope
The new lift also incorporates JLG’s Variable Tilt Technology, which is available on selected JLG scissor lifts. JLG says the system is designed to maximise the machine’s working envelope on slight slopes. It manages the relationship between platform elevation and allowable tilt, with operation remaining subject to the machine’s specified limits. The feature adds flexibility for indoor work areas where the supporting surface is not perfectly level.
Battery Options and Maintenance Access
Flooded lead-acid batteries are standard, with AGM and lithium-ion options available.
This gives customers a choice of battery technologies when specifying the machine for their charging arrangements and maintenance requirements. JLG has also revised the equipment layout to support service access. Changes include batteries positioned beneath the hood, simplified wiring-harness routing and a reduced overall parts count. Built-in containment trays are designed to hold 100 percent of the hydraulic system’s fluid, helping protect sensitive work surfaces if a leak occurs.
Standard Connectivity and Optional Object Detection
JLG ClearSky Smart Fleet connectivity is standard on the E25MCL, providing fleet-management capabilities. Available options include SkySense with Collision Avoidance, an object-detection system designed to provide alerts and support operator awareness under specified operating conditions. These features extend the machine’s capabilities beyond lifting height and platform capacity, adding connected equipment management and optional assistance around nearby obstacles.
Expanding JLG’s Vertical Mast Lift Offering
Kristine Baisa, senior product specialist at JLG, said the model responds to changing access requirements.
“As modern job site needs change, access equipment must evolve. Like JLG's E18 vertical mast lift models, the all-new E25MCL has been engineered with operator productivity, serviceability and job site versatility in mind.”
She added:
“At the same time, it takes the next step forward in our vertical mast lift offering by bringing increased reach and productivity focused technologies to a compact machine designed for space-constrained applications.”
