Smart Platform Solutions (SPS) has introduced a 100% electric JLG E660SJ model boom lift to its range.

The JLG machines, which were originally diesel powered, were retrofitted with an electric motor by SPS. The company installed a 48V lead-acid battery package, which according to SPS provides for enough power for a full working day.

Benefitting from low noise pollution and zero carbon emissions, SPS said the machine was suitable for use in residential areas and indoor spaces.
