Powered by standard lithium-ion batteries to enable faster charging and longer operation, the machine is equipped with an all-electric lift, steer, and drive and is said to require zero hydraulic oil.

With a maximum platform height of 3m (10ft) and an operating weight of 560kg, the NANO10-XD can easily fit into a standard elevator and is said to be suitable for use on a wide range of floor types.

According to the company, its compact design makes it 鈥減erfect for data centers, hospitality, food, and pharmaceutical applications,鈥� while also allowing it to pass through standard door frames.

Other features include a standard Xtra Deck to get through 2鈥檟 2鈥� ceiling grids and use in hard-to-reach areas, standard swing gate and ground to platform step height which removes the need for a ladder.

Gary Crook, VP of Engineering of MEC Aerial Work Platforms, said, 鈥淲e took a fresh look into the low-level access segment and what constituted as a true solution to the 鈥楲adders Last鈥� commitment.

鈥淚t became clear that not only should the risks of using a ladder be mitigated but productivity needed to be an integral ingredient to the recipe.

鈥淭he NANO10-XD brings the quantum leap in productivity over ladders and push around lifts that is a self-propelled MEWP in a package more compact than ever before.鈥�

The NANO10-XD electric scissor lift will be on show at next week鈥檚 2023 ARA Show in Florida, US, and at ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas, US, next month.
