JLG Industries Inc. launched its 53-ft. (16 m) rough-terrain scissor lift at the 2015 Rental Show.

JLG's 5394RT is a high-capacity scissor lift that lets operators place more personnel, tools and materials in the platform for more productive shifts.

The JLG 5394RT lift has steel hoods for toughness and auto-leveling outriggers for rapid set up. It features a standard 4 ft. (1.2 m) multi-position roll out platform extension that is extremely smooth and easy to use. For even more space, customers can add an optional 4 ft. platform extension.

"The JLG 5394RT gives users the big-job reach they need and the serviceability they want," said Paul Kreutzwiser, JLG Industries' global product director of scissors and vertical lifts. "The engine compartment offers easy access to all service points and a swing out tray for more serious work. The tilt-down modular ladders are easily lowered or removed for even better component access."

This machine offers enhanced gradeability and is well-suited to commercial construction, steel erection, paneling installation, and stadium and convention center construction.
