Dingli overhauls slab scissor line
20 March 2024
Dingli’s new AC+ scissor line.
Dingli has re-launched its range of slab scissor lifts up to 16m working height, with enhanced features and a new name.
The AC+ series builds on the manufacturer’s progression from electric/hydraulic drive to AC drive at which point the oil-free, all-electric series was also launched, introducing electric actuators to raise the scissor stack.
AC+ is marked by a change in nomenclature, with, for example, the pre-existing JCPT1612AC being renamed as S1612AC+.
The updated series includes capacities that have been increased by 40% compared to previous models, says the manufacturer. There are now also side and rear forklift pockets on all units.
Models in the series have a long duty cycle and fast recharging Lithium-ion battery with five-year warranty, along with high strength damage resistant tyres which have double the life compared to conventional tyres.
In addition, there is an integrated four-in-one motor controller, resulting in a 40% reduction in connections and harnesses, as well as a new platform control box, with enhanced durability of the touch pad and surfaces that clean easily.
The display is also now three times larger.
The updated load sensing system is less affected by temperature and friction, meaning the reliability of the scissor angle sensor has also been improved.
A hydraulic oil leak containment system has been incorporated, along with an electric actuator steering system, leading to zero hydraulic oil, a faster steering speed and 66% reduction in energy consumption.
The gravity down energy recovery system sees the battery charged during platform descent, while there has been a 15% decrease in energy consumption and higher power density in the electric drive system. The electric lift pump has also had a 20% decrease in energy consumption, with higher power density.
