Boom lift manufacturer JLG Industries Inc. has introduced a new model that, at 185 feet, is now the tallest self-propelled boom lift. It beats its closest rival, Genie, by just 5 ft.
The JLG 1850SJ Ultra Boom, which will be on display at the March 4-8 CONEXPO-CON/AGG exhibition in Las Vegas, can reach more than 19 stories of working height and offer a maximum platform capacity of 1,000 lbs, the company says. It estimates that the machine can fully extend the boom in less than five minutes and reach a total work area of 3 million cu ft.
