JLG Boom Lifts: Models, Specs and Prices
Last updated: October 2026
JLG builds telescopic and articulating boom lifts from about 30 ft to more than 185 ft of platform height, plus electric models for indoor work. JLG lifts are among the most common boom lifts in North American rental fleets, so there are plenty of used units to choose from.
This guide lists JLG’s main boom lift models with their key specs and what they sell for used on FleetNow, explains how to choose between them, and covers what to check before you buy.
In this guide:
Types of JLG Boom Lifts
- Telescopic boom lifts (S and SJ models): A straight boom that extends in sections. Telescopic booms give the most height and horizontal outreach for the money and are the go-to choice for open job sites. Models ending in SJ add a jib at the tip for finer positioning. Browse used JLG telescopic boom lifts.
- Articulating boom lifts (AJ models): A boom with one or more knuckles, so the platform can reach up and over obstacles such as pipe racks, roof edges and equipment. Browse used JLG articulating boom lifts.
- Ultra Series (SJP and AJP models, plus the 1500SJ and 1850SJ): JLG’s tallest lifts, from 120 ft to 185 ft 7 in of platform height, with 1,000 lb restricted capacity.
- Electric models (E-series): Battery-powered articulating booms such as the E300AJP and E450AJ for indoor work, where zero emissions and low noise matter.
- Towable boom lifts (T-series): Trailer-mounted lifts you can tow behind a pickup. See used JLG towable boom lifts and our towable boom lift buying guide.
You will also see HC3 on some models, such as the 600S HC3 and 860SJ HC3. HC3 stands for high capacity with three capacity ratings: the platform carries more weight closer in, and the control system adjusts the working envelope to the load on the platform.

Articulating booms give up some outreach compared with a telescopic boom of the same height, but they can work around obstacles that a straight boom can’t. Electric models like the E300AJP and E450AJ are lighter on emissions and noise and run on non-marking tires, which makes them a better fit for warehouses, malls and finished floors.

How to Choose a JLG Boom Lift
- Height: Pick a lift with a working height a few feet above your highest task. A lift that is too tall costs more to buy, transport and maintain.
- Outreach and obstacles: If the work is straight up and out over open ground, a telescopic boom gives the most reach. If you need to work over walls, equipment or roof edges, choose an articulating boom.
- Capacity: Count people, tools and materials. Models with 1,000 lb restricted ratings, such as the 400S, 600S, 800S and the Ultra Series, help when crews carry heavy materials.
- Power and work site: Use diesel or dual fuel for outdoor and rough-terrain work, and electric models for indoor work or noise-sensitive sites.
- Transport: A 40 to 46 ft boom weighs about 13,000 to 17,000 lb, while 120 ft and taller lifts weigh 40,000 lb or more and need heavy-haul trailers and permits.
- Parts and service: Common models such as the 450AJ, 600S, 600AJ and 860SJ have the most used units and parts available, which helps with resale too.
JLG Boom Lift Prices

JLG vs Genie Boom Lifts
JLG (part of Oshkosh Corporation) and Genie (a Terex brand) are the two largest boom lift makers in North America, and most JLG models have a close Genie equivalent. Neither brand is better across the board. Both hold their value well, and both are easy to find parts and service for.
| JLG model | Closest Genie equivalent |
|---|---|
| JLG 400S / 460SJ | Genie S-45 |
| JLG 600S / 660SJ | Genie S-65 |
| JLG 800S / 860SJ | Genie S-85 |
| JLG 450AJ / 600AJ | Genie Z-45 and Z-60 series |
| JLG 1350SJP | Genie SX-135 XC |
The differences are model by model: JLG’s S models often offer a 1,000 lb restricted capacity, while Genie’s XC models carry a higher unrestricted capacity on some heights. If you run a mixed fleet, matching the brand you already service can save on parts and training. See our Genie boom lift guide or compare used Genie boom lifts on FleetNow.
What to Check Before Buying a Used JLG Boom Lift
- Annual inspection and service records: Ask for the latest annual inspection, the hour meter reading and records of any boom, turntable or engine repairs.
- Boom and wear pads: Extend the boom fully and look for scoring, cracks, bent sections and excess play between sections or at the knuckles.
- Turntable bearing and swing: Swing the boom both ways and check for rocking, grinding or uneven movement.
- Hydraulics: Look for leaks at cylinders, hoses and fittings, and check the oil for contamination.
- Controls and safety systems: Test every function from the ground and platform controls, including emergency stop, auxiliary lowering, tilt alarm and load sensing on newer units.
- Engine or batteries: On diesel units, check for smoke and warning lights and ask about DPF and DEF service on Tier 4 models. On electric units, ask for the battery age and a load test.
- Tires, axles and chassis: Check foam-filled tires for chunking, test oscillating or extendable axles, and look for frame cracks or weld repairs.
- Decals and manuals: Make sure the capacity decals are readable and the operator’s manual is in the platform box.
Buying from a distance? Ask the seller for photos of the serial plate and hour meter and a video of every function at full height and outreach. The FleetNow Inspect app can help you document a machine’s condition.

JLG Boom Lift FAQs
The JLG 1850SJ is JLG’s tallest boom lift, with a 185 ft 7 in platform height and 80 ft of horizontal outreach. The tallest JLG articulating boom is the 1500AJP at 150 ft.
On FleetNow in October 2026, most used 40 to 46 ft JLG booms listed for about $20,000 to $45,000, 60 to 66 ft models for $25,500 to $62,000, and 80 to 86 ft models for $36,000 to $70,000. Ultra Series lifts of 120 ft and up start around $70,000. See current JLG boom lift listings.
A telescopic boom (S and SJ models) extends straight out and gives more height and outreach for the money. An articulating boom (AJ models) has knuckles that let the platform reach up and over obstacles. Choose telescopic for open sites and articulating for work around walls, equipment or roof edges.
HC3 means high capacity with three capacity ratings. HC3 models such as the 600S HC3 and 860SJ HC3 sense the load on the platform and adjust the working envelope, allowing up to 1,000 lb in a restricted range.
Weight grows with height. A JLG 400S weighs about 13,650 lb, a 600S about 21,500 lb, an 860SJ about 36,900 lb and a 1200SJP about 40,900 lb. The 1850SJ weighs about 59,900 lb. Check the serial plate on any used unit, because options change the weight.
