JLG DaVinci AE1932 Scissor Lift Financing

Finance a JLG DaVinci AE1932 scissor lift. All-electric with lithium-ion, 19-ft platform, zero emissions, no charger needed at the plug. $50k floor, app-only to $400k.

JLG launched the DaVinci AE1932 as a lithium-ion scissor lift designed from the ground up for the all-electric platform, not a lead-acid machine converted to lithium. The practical difference shows in the charge behavior: the DaVinci charges from a standard AC outlet or a dedicated charger, holds a charge across a full shift, and the lithium pack degrades more predictably than flooded lead-acid cells. Platform height is 19 feet, working height 25 feet, platform capacity 800 pounds, 32-inch width. The spec is comparable to the ES1932, but the drivetrain and battery chemistry are different machines underneath.

We fund the DaVinci AE1932 new and used. The model is newer, so the used market is thinner than legacy slab electric models, but fleet returns from large rental companies do appear. Financing starts from our $50,000 floor. Most single-unit deals fit inside the application-only window up to $400,000. Multi-unit fleet orders for commercial fit-out work or equipment rental companies building a lithium-ion fleet fund as a single transaction. Three months of bank statements and a completed application starts the process.

What Makes the DaVinci Different from Standard Lead-Acid Models

The lithium-ion battery in the DaVinci AE1932 is the defining feature. Lead-acid slab electrics require careful discharge management: run them past 20 percent charge and cycle life shortens significantly. Lithium packs tolerate partial discharge and opportunity charging without the same penalty. A DaVinci on a job site with a charger plugged in during lunch adds runtime without degrading the pack. That matters for high-utilization contractors running the machine across multiple shifts.

Charge time is faster on lithium than on flooded lead-acid. Full recharge from a low state on a 110V outlet takes less time than an equivalent lead-acid system, and a 240V dedicated charger shortens it further. For rental yards running the machine on back-to-back rental turns, faster charge time translates to fewer down days between rentals.

The machine's physical spec is consistent with the standard 19-foot slab electric class: 32-inch width, non-marking tires, 800-pound platform capacity, slab-only duty. The weight is different from lead-acid equivalents because lithium packs are lighter for equivalent energy content, which changes the ground bearing pressure calculation slightly. For buyers working on sensitive finished floors, the exact weight should be confirmed with JLG spec documentation for the AE1932.

Telematics integration is more sophisticated on the DaVinci than on older lead-acid models. Battery state of health, charge cycles, and fault codes report through JLG's connectivity platform. For rental companies managing a fleet remotely, that data is operationally useful and differentiates the DaVinci from older fleet models in ways beyond chemistry.

Who Buys the DaVinci AE1932

Rental companies investing in a modern fleet are the primary target buyer. The DaVinci's lithium chemistry, telematics, and faster charge time are selling points at the rental counter for customers who want predictable runtime and modern equipment. A rental yard that commits to the DaVinci is positioning against older lead-acid fleets on quality, which justifies a rate premium. Lithium-ion scissor lift financing covers this category, and the DaVinci is the JLG entry point into the lithium slab-electric space.

Large facilities maintenance operations that want predictable battery performance over a multi-year ownership period also target the DaVinci. Lead-acid battery replacement every two to four years is a real ownership cost on older slab electrics. Lithium packs typically last longer in cycle count, and the replacement is less frequent. For a facility running a scissor lift 40 weeks per year, the total ownership cost calculation on the DaVinci versus a lead-acid alternative is worth running before committing to either.

Data center construction crews specify the DaVinci for the same reason they specify any all-electric tool on a live floor: zero emissions, no off-gassing concern, and predictable runtime. The 19-foot height class covers the typical overhead infrastructure height in a standard data center pod without being oversized.

Credit and Documentation for the DaVinci Deal

Documentation for the DaVinci AE1932 runs the same as any slab electric scissor lift in our program. current operating bank statements, a completed one-page application, and a purchase invoice or dealer quote. For deals under $400,000, those documents cover the application-only window without requiring tax returns or audited financials.

B and C credit applicants are reviewed based on the bank statement revenue picture alongside the credit profile. A business with consistent monthly deposits supporting the projected payment can move through our B/C credit program even with a score in the low-to-mid 600 range or a prior derogatory mark. We do not approve every B credit deal, but we work through more of them than a single-lender bank does.

New-to-business applicants for the DaVinci face the same startup criteria as any new-business financing: personal credit, down payment, and any collateral offered. The DaVinci's higher residual value relative to older lead-acid models can help the collateral position in a startup deal. Startup and new-business financing is available through our financing desk for operators who are early in their history but have the credit and equity position to support approval.

For buyers considering the DaVinci alongside the standard ES1932, the financing process is identical. The difference in deal structure comes from the purchase price, which is higher for the DaVinci due to the lithium battery system. That higher ticket often makes it easier to reach our $50,000 floor on a single unit rather than requiring a multi-unit order. Buyers purchasing DaVinci units for a rental fleet may also find that the machine's faster charge time and telematics justify a higher daily rental rate, improving the revenue-per-unit calculation. Refinancing an existing lead-acid machine to fund the DaVinci upgrade is a transaction we handle regularly for operators switching battery chemistry across their fleet.

Questions operators ask

Clear answers before the lift moves.

Open a question for the practical details on equipment, documents, timing, and structure.

Is the lithium battery on the DaVinci covered under JLG warranty, and does that affect financing?

JLG includes warranty coverage on the DaVinci system including the battery for new purchases; terms vary by contract. A machine under active warranty reduces the risk of a major repair cost during the early ownership period, which is a positive underwriting factor. Confirm warranty details with the selling dealer.

Can I refinance the DaVinci AE1932 I bought cash to pull equity out?

Yes. A cash-out refinance or sale-leaseback on a DaVinci you own converts the machine's value back to cash. The lithium system's higher residual value relative to older lead-acid equivalents can support a favorable appraisal at the time of the refinance.

The DaVinci is more expensive than the ES1932. Does that mean it always funds as a single unit?

The higher purchase price on the DaVinci makes single-unit deals more likely to clear our $50,000 floor on their own. But multi-unit DaVinci orders for fleet builds are common and fund as a single transaction. Tell us the unit count and aggregate price and we will confirm the structure.

Does the DaVinci's telematics system create any financing complications?

Telematics does not affect the financing structure. It adds operational value for rental companies and fleet operators. Some lenders view connected equipment positively because it improves recovery options if a default occurs, but that consideration is secondary to revenue and credit profile in the underwriting.

I want to buy both DaVinci AE1932 units and older ES1932 units for my fleet. Can that be one deal?

Mixed fleet orders can often be structured as one transaction. We underwrite the aggregate amount across all units. The documentation is the same; we just need the full list of equipment and the total purchase price. Tell us the breakdown and we will structure it.
