The JLG LiftPod is a personal and portable lift that combines the portability of a ladder with the stability of a work platform. With an enclosed platform and 14-foot working height, the LiftPod allows workers to move within the basket, hands-free, helping to increase safety. The platform contains a work tray to carry tools and materials, increasing productivity and quality of work.

The LiftPod is easily portable between locations in a truck and around the jobsite on wheels. Each module of the unit can be carried and moved by one person, and it can be assembled in less than 30 seconds. It is low maintenance and lightweight; each of the three LiftPod modules weighs about 50 pounds for simple disassembly and transfer.

“For any contractor, maintenance engineer or facility manager concerned with safety, efficiency and ease of use, the LiftPod is the optimal solution,” says Jeff Ford, product parent for JLG Industries. “The LiftPod combines the portability and affordability of a ladder with the stability of a work platform at about 25 percent of the weight and 25 percent of the cost of a traditional vertical work platform.”

Verified by Jeff Ford, product parent for JLG Industries.
