JLG

JLG's 1500SJ is the first 150-foot boomlift that requires only a weight permit, the company said, and includes a telescopic jib that extends up to 25 feet for additional vertical and horizontal reach. Standard steel hoods provide improved durability. Operators receive key information with new graphic LCD displays in the platform. The 1500SJ delivers dual 1,000/500-pound capacity, three steering modes and advanced systems to assist in safely positioning the platform. The unit is designed for general contractors, glaziers, window cleaners, welders and others.

The Jib-Extend telescopic jib on the Genie Z135/70 self-propelled articulating boom extends the unit's reach from 12 feet to 20 feet and provides a 110-degree vertical range of motion to reach up and over. The Genie Fast Mast system allows operators to lower the platform to ground level without having to lower the secondary boom. The unit has a working height of 141 feet, a horizontal reach of 69 feet, 9 inches, an up-and-over clearance of 75 feet, 6 inches and a lift capacity of 600 pounds.

JCB

JCB's 512-56 is the largest machine in the company's range of telehandlers. “The 512-56 caps off our line of five high-boom, lift-and-place Loadalls with capacities ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 pounds,” said JCB deputy chairman John Patterson. The units can elevate a maximum load of 12,000 pounds with a maximum height of 56 feet and come equipped with axle-mounted stabilizers as standard for superior chassis leveling when the stabilizer legs are down. The boom is positioned high for optimum operator visibility. A hydraulic cylinder mounted underneath the outer boom extends the boom's intermediate section, with chains for second and third stages. The boom uses a Waxoyl lubricant, exclusive to JCB, that is dry to the touch and thus does not attract sand and dirt that could increase boom-pad wear.
