Powered by a 48-volt, 560 Ah battery, the unit also features power steering on the back wheel and a maximum steering angle of +/-90 degrees.
The largest JMG machine Compact Lifting Equipment is offering is the MC600E, which has a 132,000-pound maximum lifting capacity and 46'3" boom length. Turning radius is 16.7 feet.
