Reach Higher in Tight Spaces: The All-New JLG® ES1930M with Integrated Mid-Rail Deck

Cramped overhead spaces just got a whole lot easier.
When ceiling grids, ductwork, or steel beams get in the way, the all-new JLG ES1930M Micro-Sized Scissor Lift is engineered to help crews get the job done—safely, quickly, and with confidence. With a platform height of 18 ft 6 in, it already delivers serious reach in small spaces. But now, a new innovation takes it even further.

Introducing the Integrated Mid-Rail Deck

This optional platform accessory provides operators with an extra 19.5 in of standing height while maintaining compliance with safety standards. The enclosed four-rail system keeps operators secure, while its lightweight aluminum deck with steel rails tucks neatly inside the platform when not in use.

• Stows inside the existing platform
• 275-lb capacity for one operator
• Drive-at-height functionality to boost productivity
• Fast, tool-free installation and removal

The result? A smarter, safer way to get closer to overhead tasks without risky workarounds.

Designed for Tight, High-Stakes Spaces

The Integrated Mid-Rail Deck is a game-changer for crews who need precision and speed:

• Electricians working above ceiling grids
• HVAC techs navigating around ductwork
• Plumbers routing pipe between trusses
• Maintenance teams replacing tiles and fixtures
• Rental fleets needing compact yet capable equipment
• Data centers where space is limited and maneuverability is critical

More access, fewer compromises. That’s the power of the ES1930M.

Safety Without Shortcuts

Standing on ladders, buckets, planks—or even the platform guardrails—may seem like an easy solution, but it’s also a dangerous one. These unsafe practices are strictly prohibited by OSHA and ANSI regulations.

With the Integrated Mid-Rail Deck (and other innovative JLG accessories), operators can stay compliant while extending their reach safely. Every operator must wear a full-body harness and lanyard attached to an authorized anchorage point, and should always follow the machine’s Operation & Safety Manual.

Other Smart Accessories for Elevated Work

JLG also offers the QuikAccess Platform, available on select R and ES Series 19-ft scissor lifts. It provides 22 in of extra height while maintaining railing compliance, and includes a tool tray plus drive-while-raised capability—another powerful solution for tight overhead spaces.

Together, the Mid-Rail Deck and QuikAccess Platform help crews:

• Improve productivity
• Increase efficiency
• Maintain safety
• Complete jobs faster
