Features on the SJ5545 E electric drive scissor 

With a working height of 51 feet (15.54 metres) and a load capacity of 770 lbs (394 kg), this E-Drive model boasts exceptionally responsive control and manoeuvrability, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of construction, maintenance, and industrial applications. The intelligent adaptive variable speed brushless drive system provides ample duty cycles, smooth automatic transition from high to low speed on a grade including 25 percent gradeability. Fully proportional drive and lift controls offer efficiency, controllability, and improved torque and traction.

The scissor stack design of the SJ5545 E features fully welded cross-bracing that increases rigidity and improves operator comfort at height. The SJ5545 E is drivable at full height and offers a 2-person wind-rating at 22 feet (6.7 metres) for optimal performance and utilization.

The maximized width of the all-steel, anti-slip platform provides a large working area while minimizing space between platform and workface. The platform incorporates multiple lanyard attachment points and a manually operated 3-feet (0.90-metre) roll-out extension deck for an optimized work area and up-and-over capability. The modular rail system easily folds down to reduce stowed height for transportation.
