As construction projects across Sydney and New South Wales continue to scale up, the demand for access equipment that can go higher, carry more, and operate with flexibility is growing rapidly. Site managers are under pressure to meet tighter timelines, work on taller structures, and manage heavier installations, making traditional machines increasingly inadequate. In response, the industry is shifting toward advanced solutions like a JCPT 3225 HRT Dingli scissor lift, which offers greater height, increased load capacity, and hybrid versatility for a wide range of site conditions.
This standout Dingli scissor lift is leading the shift, and is now available from ABS. But before we explore the machine in more detail, let’s explore what’s driving this market evolution and why other platforms are falling behind.
Why scissor lift needs are changing
Scissor lifts have long been the go-to for safe, vertical access. But until now, if you needed to work beyond 28 metres, you typically had to switch to a boom lift. That approach brings compromises.
Boom lifts, while excellent for outreach and articulation, often come with limited safe working loads (SWLs) at full extension, typically around 230 to 300 kg. That’s fine for one or two workers and light gear, but if your task requires a full team with tools, materials, and mobility at height, it quickly becomes restrictive.
The growing need to take the full team up
We’re seeing more and more applications where crews need to get multiple people and equipment up to 30-plus metres, whether it’s for:
- Curtain wall and glazing installs
- Vertical HVAC and ductwork placement
- Large signage and cladding projects
- High-bay racking in logistics hubs
- Stadium or airport fit-outs
In these situations, contractors aren’t looking for just reach, they want safe, stable, high-capacity platforms. That’s where traditional boom lifts fall short.
The Dingli JCPT 3225 HRT, bringing the team to the top
Enter the JCPT 3225 HRT Dingli scissor lift, now available through ABS in Sydney. With a platform height of 32 metres and a massive 1,000 kg SWL, this machine allows entire work crews, up to four people, to ascend together with their full complement of tools, components, and safety gear.
The platform is 7.36 metres long (with extension) and 2.45 metres wide, giving plenty of working space even at full height. And unlike many boom lifts, this scissor remains stable and fully usable at its maximum extension. It’s built for height, and for load.
| Key Spec | |
| Working height | 32 meters |
| Safe working load | 1,000 kg |
| Max. platform size | 7.36 m x 2.45m |
| Power | Hybrid |
| Drive | 4WD |
| Gradeability | 30% |
This makes our Dingli scissor lift one of the few machines in Australia that can legitimately replace a boom lift for vertical work at height, but with the added benefit of team-sized capacity.
Why hybrid matters on Sydney jobsites
With its hybrid diesel-electric drive, this Dingli scissor lift is also built for flexibility across indoor and outdoor environments. On greenfield or infrastructure sites, you’ve got the range and autonomy of diesel. But when you shift indoors, or onto projects with noise or emission restrictions, you can switch to electric for quiet, emission-free operation.
In cities like Sydney, where projects often blend indoor fit-outs with external façade work, this kind of operational flexibility can save time, cost, and compliance headaches.
Rough terrain, no problem
This machine also offers four-wheel drive, self-levelling hydraulic outriggers, and excellent ground clearance, making it suitable for use on slabs, compacted ground, or lightly uneven surfaces. That means fewer site limitations, and less need for repositioning.
Professionally supported by ABS
High-performance gear is only valuable if it’s reliable. That’s why ABS takes fleet maintenance seriously. Every Dingli scissor lift in our fleet is inspected, serviced, and safety-checked by our in-house technical team before going out on hire.
With our base in Sydney, we offer fast turnaround, support, and delivery to major metro and regional projects, ensuring you’re not left waiting or troubleshooting on site.
Available now, go higher, carry more, work smarter
Whether you’re fitting out a distribution centre, installing glazed façades on a multi-storey build, or building vertical transport cores in a commercial development, this Dingli scissor lift gives you the height, load, and flexibility to work more efficiently, and more safely.
