JLG 860SJ Telescopic Boom Lift – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The JLG 860SJ is a dominant, ultra-high-reach Diesel Telescopic (Straight) Boom Lift designed for maximum elevation, long outreach, and fast operation on challenging outdoor rough terrain job sites.1 The “860SJ” denotes the 86-foot class, straight (telescopic) boom, and the inclusion of a Jib for added precision.2 This machine is engineered for structural steel, heavy component installation, and building envelope tasks that require a massive working envelope and swift access to extreme heights. The 860SJ is a powerful workhorse for large-scale industrial and construction projects that need extra flexibility at the platform.

🔹 Key Features & Benefits
-
✅ Maximum Reach: Provides a commanding 92 ft working height and a massive 75 ft (22.86 m) of horizontal outreach, maximizing the working envelope for high-rise and large-scale projects.
-
✅ Platform Jib: Includes an 8 ft (2.44 m) jib that provides 130° of vertical articulation, allowing for precise final positioning and the ability to work around obstacles that the main boom cannot clear.
-
✅ Telescopic Boom: Delivers exceptionally fast time-to-height and long horizontal projection, maximizing job site efficiency.
-
✅ High Dual Capacity: Offers a standard dual envelope platform capacity of 1,000 lb (454 kg) (restricted) and 600 lb (272 kg) (unrestricted), allowing for more workers, tools, and materials.
-
✅ Rough Terrain Performance: Equipped with standard 4WD and a full-time oscillating axle, ensuring superior traction and stability for navigating slopes, mud, and uneven job sites.
-
✅ Continuous Rotation: 360° continuous turntable rotation maximizes the work envelope and efficiency.
