JLG Industries, Inc., announced the launch of the 1850SJ Ultra boom, which the company says is the world’s largest self-propelled boom lift with nearly three million cubic feet of reachable space.
Delivering 19 stories of working height, the 1850SJ’s reach can move aerial work platforms into applications previously reserved for truck-mounted booms, says the OEM. The boom will be on display at CONEXPO March 4-8 in booth #1037 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The JLG 1850SJ offers a maximum capacity of 1,000 pounds, allowing operators to move more tools and materials to the elevated worksite. Faster cycle speeds enable the boom to extend from ground to full height in less than five minutes and operators to spend more time working and less time positioning the lift.
The 1850SJ includes a telescopic jib that extends and retracts to provide additional reach, up-and-over capability and the ability to telescope into and around structures in a variety of applications, including steel erection; energy-related construction such as petrochemical, power generation and wind plants; stadium, convention center and theater construction; and entertainment and studio-related applications.
An updated platform LCD display provides even more information to optimize service and operator productivity. A graphic display of the operator’s position in the work envelope aids in positioning, and the communication of service codes, engine status, fuel levels, and other messages assists the operator and service provider with operation, diagnosis, and troubleshooting.
