JLG has expanded its JLG telehandler line to include its first electric telehandler model, the E313. This innovative machine will transform how you work, offering a practical solution for applications where traditional engine-powered machines fall short.
Let’s take a look…
Unique Specifications and Capabilities
The E313 stands out in the 3,500-lb capacity range, a unique offering compared to most electric telehandlers in the 5,000-lb category. It is designed for various applications, including landscaping and hardscaping, roofing, concrete and masonry, general construction, building maintenance, warehouse distribution, industrial facilities, municipal work, as well as urban construction and residential projects.
With a maximum lift height of 13-ft and a forward reach of 5-ft 8-ft, it's an ideal tool for pick-and-place tasks such as transporting materials around job sites, accessing dump trucks and single-story houses and reaching into truck beds or over obstacles.
This versatile machine has Load Stability Indicator (LSI) and Seatbelt Engagement and Operator Presence systems to ensure operator confidence and protection during tasks.
Environmental Benefits and Versatility
One of the E313's key advantages is its zero-emission operation. This feature allows you to work in sensitive environments and indoor spaces without concerns about diesel exhaust. Being battery-powered also significantly reduces the machine’s noise levels for use in noise-sensitive areas or job sites with strict noise restrictions. This quieter operation even allows for extended working hours, including overnight projects.
Power Management and Productivity Enhancements
The E313 doesn't compromise on performance. Its electric motor offers more responsive performance compared to traditional internal combustion engines. The machine has a two-speed electric transmission, providing optimal performance and power management. It also features rear pivot steering, resulting in less ground disturbance — a feature particularly appreciated by landscapers.
Powered by six maintenance-free 48-volt lithium-ion batteries, the E313 offers up to four hours of continuous operation. The intelligent battery monitoring system informs operators about the state of charge and initiates a reduced performance mode when necessary. Charging is convenient with options for both 110-volt and 220-volt power sources.
Efficient boom speeds, an oscillating rear axle for smoother rides and excellent off-road capability boost productivity. The E313 also has a universal skid-steer coupler system, allowing it to use various existing telehandler and skid-steer loader attachments.
In addition to the electric model, a diesel engine model, the JLG 313, is also available.
Total Cost of Ownership Advantages
One of the E313's most significant advantages is its reduced maintenance requirements, positively impacting your total cost of ownership. With electric motors that are virtually maintenance-free, you can say goodbye to oil changes and engine part replacements. The E313 also comes with ClearSky Smart Fleet™, JLG's fleet management platform, for true two-way fleet interactivity. These features contribute to lower operating costs and an improved bottom line.
Meeting Tomorrow’s Needs Today
With the JLG E313, we're not just introducing another machine — we're ushering in a new era of efficient, environmentally friendly and versatile telehandler technology. As we move towards a more sustainable future in construction and material handling, JLG stands at the forefront, ready to meet the evolving needs of modern job sites.
