    eDaily: JLG FS80LiftPod

    Sept. 28, 2010

    According to JLG, its new FS80 LiftPod is “the most portable aerial work platform in the world.” Each of the LiftPod’s five modules (base, mast and carriage, platform, power pack and work tray) is designed to be “carried by one person and can be assembled in around 30 seconds.” The LiftPod is a practical alternative to a ladder, says JLG, and typically can be transported in the back of a utility vehicle. The 63-pound base of the LiftPod is made of high-strength steel, and its mast (44 pounds) and platform (30 pounds) of lightweight aluminum.
