Sinoboom has launched updated AB18J Plus and AB18EJ Plus boom lifts, introducing enhancements to performance, capacity and operating flexibility for aerial work platform applications.

The upgraded machines feature a maximum platform height of 60.96 feet( 18.58 meters) and increased loading capacity of 551.16 / 749.57 pounds( 250 / 340 kilograms) across both diesel and electric models. The AB18J Plus offers a horizontal reach of 39.37 feet( 12 meters), while the AB18EJ Plus provides 35.1 feet( 10.7 meters), with both models delivering an up-and-over clearance of 26.18 feet( 7.98 meters).

Continuous 360-degree rotation allows for positioning without moving the chassis, supporting efficient operation in constrained work environments.

The electric AB18EJ Plus includes a 500-ampere-hour battery upgrade designed to extend runtime, with an optional range extender available to further increase working time. Optional configurations also include 4WDx4WS for enhanced performance in off-road conditions.

Standard features include full-time active oscillation in both stowed and lifting modes, 40 % gradeability and a maximum working angle of 5 degrees, supporting operation on uneven terrain.

Big Joe Forklifts announced two new products at MODEX, including the LPX40 lithium-ion forklift and the Big Joe Pulse asset optimization tool.

The Big Joe Pulse system is designed as an asset optimization tool available on every Big Joe Class sit-down counterbalance model. The platform provides visibility into fleet performance, including diagnostics and battery data, and can be accessed remotely through telemetry. It is intended to support maintenance planning, monitor energy usage and track operational performance across individual units or entire fleets.

Pulse includes features such as energy usage tracking, charging behavior analytics, fuel and emissions savings reporting, embedded troubleshooting tools and remote diagnostics with live monitoring.

The second product introduced is the LPX40, a 4,000-pound capacity integrated lithium-ion pneumatic tire forklift designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The model is built for applications where propanepowered equipment is commonly used and includes a lithium-ion battery with an onboard charger. It also features large tires, increased ground clearance and an optional enclosed cab with a heater. The LPX40 is expected to launch this summer.
