Elevation meets stability 

Not every jobsite is smooth and predictable. Muddy, sloped and uneven terrain can make working at height unsafe or impossible with the wrong equipment. JLG Rough Terrain (RT) Scissor Lifts provide elevation, stability and traction to work safely and productively outdoors.

At One Call Rentals, we supply jobsite-ready RT scissor lifts backed by reliable support and fast delivery to keep projects moving.

The Problem:
Elevated Access on Uneven Terrain

Key obstacles:

  • Unstable Ground: Slab lifts and ladders are unsafe on mud, gravel or slopes
  • Inefficient Workarounds: Scaffold and ladders waste time and add safety risks
  • Limited Equipment Options: Not all aerial lifts are engineered for outdoor terrain

Challenge: Contractors need a lift that can safely provide elevated access while withstanding real-world jobsite conditions.

The Solution:
JLG Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts

RT scissor lifts are purpose-built for outdoor conditions, offering elevation and stability where traditional slab lifts can’t operate.  They’re designed to:

  • Traverse uneven or muddy jobsite surfaces
  • Support multiple workers and tools at height
  • Self-level on slopes using outriggers/stabilizers
  • Operate with gas, diesel or dual-fuel flexibility
"
JLG RT scissor lifts give contractors safe elevated access on tough terrain. No compromises or shortcuts.
