JLG's highly portable FS80 LiftPod aerial work platform contains five modules (base, mast and carriage, platform, power pack and work tray) designed to be carried by one person and assembled in about 30 seconds, JLG says. The LiftPod is a practical alternative to a ladder 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) are composed of lightweight aluminum. The unit's power pack (15 pounds) can elevate and descend with a worker an average of 20 times before recharging is required. It has a platform height of 7 feet 8 inches, a platform size of 24x20 inches and a capacity of 300 pounds.
