JLG scissor lifts ES, R, RT, LE and CRT/LRT – from McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania: the number as platform height in feet and width in inches, electric for the hall, diesel for the site, 18 to 61 kW
JLG of McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania, is the world's largest maker of aerial work platforms – founded in 1969 by John L. Grove, who gave it its name, part of the Oshkosh group since 2006 – and scissor lifts are the volume product. The type logic follows the American convention: the first digits give the platform height in feet, the last the platform width in inches – a 1930ES is 19 ft high and 30 in wide, a 3246ES 32 ft and 46 in, a 4394RT 43 ft and 94 in. The letters name drive and duty: ES stands for Electric Slab, the battery-powered indoor lift with electric drive motors, R for the entry range, RT for Rough Terrain with diesel engine and all-wheel drive, LE for the electric rough-terrain lift, CRT and LRT for Compact and Large Rough Terrain, M for the version with mobile drive; the RTS models are older rough-terrain lifts.

The register lists 24 versions with service weights from 123 to 7,711 kg, lengths from 1,753 to 5,180 mm, widths from 760 to 2,408 mm and platform capacities from 230 to 1,020 kg; the diesel models deliver 18.3 to 61.1 kW with Kubota engines, the older ones with Ford VSG-413 and LRG-425 petrol engines.
The 760 mm wide 1930ES is the most-hired work platform in the world – it drives through any standard door and lifts two people to 5.8 m platform height; the 4394RT with 94 inch width and extension deck is the site lift for façades and hall roofs.
On used lifts, operating hours, battery condition on ES models, play in scissor pins and rails, hydraulic tightness, the function of tilt and overload sensors and a valid periodic inspection are what count.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
