Rent the Zoomlion ZT26JE – electric telescopic boom lift with 28.7 m working height

The Zoomlion ZT26JE is a fully electric telescopic boom lift with 28.70 m working height, 22.10 m horizontal outreach and up to 454 kg lifting capacity. It covers a height class that until now was almost exclusively reserved for diesel machines – while working emission-free on site. Rent the ZT26JE from Luibl anywhere in Europe, with transport and operator familiarisation on request.

Almost 29 metres of working height – fully electric

A working height of almost 29 metres corresponds roughly to a nine-storey building. Emission-free machines were long unavailable in this class: the energy required for the lifting and drive systems was simply too high for a battery. The ZT26JE solves this with an 80-volt lithium-ion system that powers a 30 kW lifting drive and a 5.2 kW travel drive. Charging is via a 5 kW charger.

In concrete terms for operators: you can work at heights that previously required a diesel machine – and still stay in areas where exhaust fumes are not permitted. In operating production halls, under emission restrictions in city centres or for night work near residential areas, this often decides whether the job is approved at all.

22.10 m horizontal outreach

The horizontal outreach of 22.10 m is the outstanding feature of this machine. It lets you reach work points far away from a drivable set-up area: over railway tracks and pipe bridges, over water, basins or pits, over plant components that must not be driven over or dismantled, and over green areas that need to be protected.

The boom is supplemented by a 1.83 m jib with 130° articulation (−55° to +75°). This lets you approach the work site from above or from the side instead of head-on. The turntable rotates 360° continuously and the platform rotates ±90° – so you align the platform, not the whole machine.

Dual capacity up to 454 kg

The platform measures 2.44 × 0.91 m and carries up to 454 kg in the restricted working range and 300 kg in the full working range. This lets two technicians go up together with tools and installation material – a key efficiency factor for a machine of this height, because every additional trip costs a corresponding amount of time.

Secondary guarding system as standard

The ZT26JE comes as standard with a secondary guarding system – an additional protective device that prevents the operator from being trapped between the control panel and an obstacle. Especially when working under ceilings, beams and pipe racks, this is a relevant gain in safety.

Further standard equipment: tilt warning system, load sensing system, auto-levelling, emergency lowering, emergency stop, all-motion alarm, self-closing entry gate, flashing beacon and an on-board diagnostic system. The machine is CE compliant.

Operation is subject to national occupational safety regulations: operators need instruction and written authorisation from their employer. Our training courses provide the appropriate qualifications.

Rough-terrain capable despite its size

Four-wheel drive, a permanently active oscillating axle, 0.41 m ground clearance and 45 % gradeability (24°) bring the ZT26JE into position even on unpaved site ground. Foam-filled tyres rule out punctures, and the drive speed is up to 5.5 km/h.

The tail swing of only 1.61 m is remarkable for a machine of this size. The turning radius is 3.11 m inside and 6.16 m outside. This allows the lift to be positioned along building edges and in alleys where larger swing dimensions would require an additional cordoned-off area.

Stowed, the ZT26JE measures 11.91 m × 2.49 m × 2.82 m (L × W × H). With a weight of 17,600 kg and this length, transport needs to be planned; we take care of it in full on request – details under Transport.

Typical applications

Typical applications are industrial and plant installation, steel and hall construction, maintenance of crane runways and roof structures, façade and glazing work on taller buildings, maintenance of lighting, ventilation and sprinkler systems in large halls, work on bridges and infrastructure structures, and set-ups for trade fairs and events. Wherever great height, long outreach and emission-free operation have to come together, the ZT26JE has few alternatives on the market.

Frequently asked questions about the Zoomlion ZT26JE

How high does the Zoomlion ZT26JE reach?

The Zoomlion ZT26JE reaches a working height of 28.70 m. The platform height is 26.70 m and the horizontal outreach 22.10 m.

How far does the ZT26JE reach sideways?

The horizontal outreach is 22.10 m. Together with the 1.83 m jib and 130° articulation, the machine also reaches work points behind or above obstacles.

Are there electric telescopic boom lifts with almost 29 m working height?

Yes. The Zoomlion ZT26JE is a fully electric telescopic boom lift with 28.70 m working height. It runs on an 80 V lithium-ion battery and works emission-free on site – a height otherwise covered mainly by diesel machines.

How much can the ZT26JE lift?

In the restricted working range the platform carries up to 454 kg, in the full working range 300 kg. The platform measures 2.44 × 0.91 m.

What is a secondary guarding system?

A secondary guarding system is an additional protective device in the platform. It prevents the operator from being trapped between the control panel and an obstacle and triggers a stop on contact. On the ZT26JE it is part of the standard equipment.

What are the transport dimensions of the Zoomlion ZT26JE?

Stowed, the machine measures 11.91 m × 2.49 m × 2.82 m (L × W × H). Due to its length and weight, transport has to be planned separately.
