10 JLGs for Johnson Arabia

Middle East crane and access rental company Johnson Arabia has taken delivery of 10 new 19ft JLG R1932 slab electric scissor lifts as part of an expansion of its aerial lift business.

Johnson Arabia already runs JLG R1932s in its fleet - a classic 19ft scissor lift, with an overall width of 810mm, with a platform capacity of 230kg and a working height of 7.8 metres. The R series is one of three 19ft slab scissors offered by JLG. It is the basic ‘Rental’ line with hydraulic wheel drive, while the ES and DaVinci ranges feature direct electric drive. Johnson has found that the R1932 models are reliable and popular among its customer base. It also runs 19ft scissor lifts from Skyjack, Snorkel and MEC.
