Lift and Access November-December 2026 | Page 10

LGMG North America has introduced the S3232E electric slab scissor lift to the Canadian market, expanding its mobile elevating work platform( MEWP) lineup.

The model is designed for indoor applications where equipment must pass through standard doorways or maneuver through narrow aisles while providing greater reach than other 32-inch-wide scissor lifts in its class.

The S3232E has a maximum indoor platform height of 32 feet, 10 inches( 10 meters) and a machine width of 33 inches( 0.83 meters). The combination allows operators to reach elevated work areas in buildings with tall ceilings while navigating doorways, aisles, and other confined indoor spaces.

LGMG said the model is suited for applications including data center construction, commercial buildings, warehouses, industrial facilities, and facility maintenance.

The scissor lift can be driven at full height, allowing operators to reposition the machine without lowering and raising the platform. It has a platform capacity of 551 pounds( 250 kilograms) for up to two occupants and includes a 2-foot, 11-inch( 0.9-meter) extension deck for tools and materials.

The S3232E uses permanent magnet synchronous motors for its drive and lift functions. The sealed motors are designed to be maintenance-free throughout their service life, according to LGMG.

Standard equipment includes leak containment and a keyed brake release switch that allows the machine to be moved, winched, or towed when necessary.

The scissor lift is also telematicsready, allowing customers to install a preferred telematics system or use LGMG’ s optional system.

LGMG North America said the model is supported through its ProCare program and service resources for Canadian rental fleet owners.

Superlift Material Handling Inc. has expanded its Hercules heavy-duty electric pallet truck series to include capacities up to 35,000 pounds, offering additional options for industrial operations that handle loads beyond the capabilities of conventional pallet trucks.

The expanded series includes seven capacity ratings: 8,000, 10,000, 12,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000, and 35,000 pounds.

The electric pallet trucks are designed for moving heavy tooling, machinery, steel products, dies, coils, large fabricated components, and other oversized or difficult-to-handle loads. Superlift offers custom configurations for applications that require specific fork dimensions, battery packages, or other engineered options.

The Hercules series combines heavy-duty steel construction with electric drive, braking, and operator controls designed for continuous industrial service.

Depending on the application, available configurations include custom fork lengths and widths, power-assisted steering on selected models, application-specific battery and charging packages, and features engineered for particular load profiles or operating environments.

The Hercules series is intended for heavy manufacturing, steel and metal processing, automotive and aerospace production, machinery and equipment manufacturing, distribution, paper and packaging, and data center equipment movement.

Manitou Group has entered the stand-on track loader market with the launch of the Manitou 1050 SRT and GEHL SRT105. Deliveries to dealers and rental companies are expected to begin in early 2027.

Both models feature a 23.2-horsepower Yanmar turbo diesel engine, a 3,430-pound operating weight, and a rated operating capacity of 1,050 pounds at 35 % of tipping load. The loaders have a maximum travel speed of 5.3 miles per hour and a radial lift arm design.

Selectable auxiliary hydraulic flow allows operators to adjust flow from 25 % to 100 % through the machine’ s display menu. A CII attachment plate accommodates most mini-loader attachments, while an available adapter plate allows the use of skid steer and compact track loader attachments.

Both models feature IdealTrax, an automatic track tensioning system that applies proper tension from startup to shutdown. Manitou Group says the system extends track life by 15 % and eliminates manual grease-gun tension adjustments in the field. Additional features include creep mode for precise ground speed control, a fold-up operator platform, a 5-inch color display, LED work lights, and tool-free access to major components for maintenance. The loaders will be available in Classic and Platinum packages.
