New JLG® E313 Electric Telehandler for evolving job sites

Zero fuel and zero emissions for work in quieter, more sensitive environments

JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business and a global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, has unveiled its latest electric innovation: The E313 telehandler. Designed for all-terrain and off-road use, the battery-powered E313 offers zero-emission and low-noise operation for moving materials around indoor construction and urban, residential, and municipal projects.

“As job sites evolve, machines need to evolve with them,” said John Boehme, JLG’s senior product manager for telehandlers. “Our new E313 electric-powered telehandler transforms how work is done in emission-free spaces and noise-sensitive environments by delivering a quieter, more efficient working experience.”

With a 3,500-lb (1,587.57-kg) maximum lift capacity, a 13-ft 1-in (3.99-m) maximum lift height, 5-ft 8-in (1.73-m) forward reach and 9.3-mph (14.97-km/h) travel speed, this JLG® electric telehandler provides all the advantages of an ultra-compact, electric-powered machine without sacrificing performance for loading and unloading trucks and flatbeds, moving materials around or accessing work at height in single-story buildings.

Key features of the new electric E313 include:

  • 6-kW/h electrical system with six maintenance-free 48V lithium-ion batteries for environmentally friendly operation with no emissions
  • Up to four hours of continuous operation, or extended intermittent use, for increased productivity with extended working hours, especially for overnight projects
  • Dual on-board battery chargers with 110V and 220V charging adapters for convenient charging
  • Efficient electric drive motors eliminate the need for fuel or oil and reduce maintenance, lowering operating costs
  • Two-speed electric transmission with high-speed, two-wheel drive and low-speed, four-wheel drive for optimal power management for various job site conditions
  • Two-wheel rear pivot power steering resulting in less ground disturbance
  • Load Stability Indication (LSI) system for enhanced operator confidence, enhancing job site safety by mitigating the risk of accidents during load handling
  • Seatbelt Engagement and Operator Presence system for enhanced safety with the use of visual and audible alarms, as well as limiting machine functions

For increased machine versatility, this new electric telehandler from JLG comes standard with a universal skid-steer coupler system. This allows it to attach to various existing telehandler and skid-steer loader attachments, including carriages, forks, and buckets. It also has an integrated hitch for hauling tools around the job, increasing efficiency by reducing the need for additional equipment on-site.

The E313 also boasts reduced maintenance requirements and easy serviceability, lowering operating costs. It comes standard with JLG’s ClearSky Smart Fleet™ management system, allowing for true two-way fleet interactivity.

A diesel engine model, the JLG 313, is available in addition to this new electric model.
