The ES1930M is part of the new JLG micro-sized scissor lift line-up, developed for confined spaces, weight-restricted floors and indoor environments where conventional access equipment may be impractical. Designed for applications in data centres, schools, healthcare facilities, libraries, airports, museums and commercial buildings, JLG’s micro-sized scissor lift models feature a 76cm machine width and zero-degree inside turning radius, offering doorway access and precise manoeuvrability in corridor or congested work environments. With operating weights of 1,350kg and below, the machines are built to perform on weight-sensitive flooring and fit inside freight elevators.
Konecranes has committed to a long-term climate ambition to complement its recently upgraded near-term science-based targets. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions 90% by 2050 from base year 2019. The new long-term ambition builds on the company’s current near-term climate targets to reduce absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 60% from Scope 1 & 2 and 50% from Scope 3 including purchased goods and services and use of sold products by 2030 compared to the base year 2019, validated by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), as well as its carbon-neutral manufacturing target.
Sarens, a provider of crane rental, heavy lifting, and engineered transport services, requested a series of Modulift spreader beams and CMOD spreader frames from RSS, which were used in combination with slings and chain hoists on a five-axle mobile crane. The bridge sections were manufactured with concrete anchors, to which chain hoists were connected from each corner of the spreader frames, rigged at either end of the spreader beams. The complete rigging set included one MOD50 at 9.5m; one MOD110 at 14.5m; another MOD110 at 13m; plus, CMOD50 and CMOD34 frames, each set-up at 1m by 1m.
LGH Europe is on track to close its financial year with its largest ever programme of fleet investment, marking a decisive push into higher-capacity, precision-engineered lifting solutions. The expanded portfolio strengthens the company’s ability to support complex lifting projects across energy, offshore, infrastructure, industrial and heavy-manufacturing sectors. This year’s investment cycle has centred on equipment designed for demanding rigging, skidding, pulling, hydraulic lifting and load-measurement applications.
The lifting equipment industry is in healthy growth, primarily driven by rapid infrastructure development, industrial expansion, and rising construction activity across urban regions.
