JLG 800AJ Diesel Articulating Boom Lift – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The JLG 800AJ is a powerful, high-reach Diesel Articulating (Z-Boom) Lift designed for extremely demanding outdoor construction and industrial sites.1 The “AJ” signifies the inclusion of an Articulating Jib, providing critical extra flexibility for “up, over, and around” access, allowing operators to bypass complex obstacles at height. This machine offers one of the largest working envelopes in the 80-foot class, combining massive vertical reach with substantial horizontal outreach.2 Featuring robust 4WD performance and a high-power diesel engine, the 800AJ is built for heavy maintenance, installation, and inspection tasks where height, long outreach, and superior terrainability are required.
