The re­cent de­mand for man lifts has in­flu­enced Un­lim­it­ed Pow­er Tools Lim­it­ed to in­tro­duce one of the newest JLG mod­els of man lifts to Trinidad and To­ba­go, the JLG 1500SJ. The lat­est tech­nol­o­gy in ac­cess equip­ment is the world's first 150-foot tele­scop­ic boom lift that el­e­vates op­er­a­tors 150 feet above ground.Glob­al­ly, man lifts have be­come su­pe­ri­or to scaf­fold­ing, be­ing fre­quent­ly used on var­i­ous projects in en­er­gy, con­struc­tion, man­u­fac­tur­ing, main­te­nance and oth­er do­mes­tic ar­eas. From sav­ing lives of work­men stuck on a trol­ley at Cen­tral Bank tow­ers to the build­ing of gas, oil and en­er­gy plat­forms right here in Trinidad and To­ba­go, this high-pow­ered ac­cess equip­ment has the abil­i­ty to be de­ployed rapid­ly with­out any down time.

Ac­cord­ing to Kaim­raj Har­ryram, pro­cure­ment, lo­gis­tics and ma­te­ri­als man­ag­er of Trinidad Off­shore Fab­ri­ca­tors Un­lim­it­ed (TOF­CO), man lifts have im­proved op­er­a­tions sig­nif­i­cant­ly im­prov­ing oc­cu­pa­tion­al safe­ty."Man lifts equate to safe­ty, huge costs and time sav­ings in man­ag­ing projects. A two–week project us­ing scaf­fold­ing can be re­duced to one day us­ing a man lift", says Har­ryram.Us­ing man lifts in the area of en­ter­tain­ment al­so shows the ver­sa­til­i­ty of this equip­ment and its abil­i­ty to be prac­ti­cal­ly used in any set­ting, with celebri­ties like Machel Mon­tano and Iw­er George us­ing this equip­ment at pop­u­lar so­ca events.

The 1500SJ mod­el is the lat­est ad­di­tion to the com­pa­ny's man lifts from JLG In­dus­tries, Inc one of the world's lead­ing de­sign­ers, man­u­fac­tur­ers and mar­keters of ac­cess equip­ment. Ac­cord­ing to in­dus­try news the 1500SJ is claimed by man­u­fac­tur­er JLG to be the largest self-pro­pelled tele­scop­ic boom lift avail­able on the mar­ket. Its 150 feet (45.7m) boom has been de­signed to of­fer su­pe­ri­or reach and greater flex­i­bil­i­ty in terms of the work­ing en­vel­op. The JLG 1500 SJ has a tele­scop­ic jib that ex­tends up to 25 feet for ad­di­tion­al ver­ti­cal and hor­i­zon­tal reach.

"The 1500SJ is in­tend­ed to ad­dress the needs of clients who are look­ing for a 150 feet (45.7m) boom that re­quires on­ly a weight per­mit," says Michael Ar­june, gen­er­al man­ag­er, Un­lim­it­ed Pow­er Tools.Un­lim­it­ed Pow­er Tools is one of Trinidad and To­ba­go's lead­ers in pro­vid­ing ad­vanced prod­ucts and ser­vices and is com­mit­ted to the suc­cess of cus­tomers whose work is linked to the use of cranes, man lifts, scis­sor lifts, tele­scop­ic han­dlers, fork­lifts back­hoes, ex­ca­va­tors, bull­doz­ers, wheel load­ers, trail­ers and light equip­ment.
