Description
JLG 800AJ Diesel Boom Lift: Command the Heights with Superior Reach and Agility
The JLG 800AJ articulated boom lift is a formidable machine designed to conquer the most demanding elevated access challenges. With its impressive 26.20m working height, exceptional horizontal outreach, and unparalleled rough-terrain capabilities, the 800AJ provides operators with precise, safe, and productive access to elevated work areas, even in the most challenging outdoor conditions.
Features
- 26.38m (86 ft 7 in) Max. Working Height: Offers an outstanding vertical reach, making it ideal for working on very tall structures, industrial facilities, and complex infrastructure projects.
- 24.38m (80 ft 0 in) Max. Platform Height: The height of the platform floor when fully extended.
- Impressive 15.80m (51 ft 10 in) Max. Horizontal Outreach: Provides a significant horizontal reach, allowing operators to easily access work areas over large obstacles, across wide spans, or on difficult-to-approach facades.
- 9.78m (32 ft 1 in) Up-and-Over Height: The articulated boom design with a 1.83m (6 ft) articulating jib allows for exceptional "up-and-over" capabilities, enabling the platform to navigate over obstructions like pipe racks, roofs, or machinery, and reach targets that traditional straight booms cannot.
- 230 kg (507 lbs) Unrestricted Platform Capacity: Can safely lift 230 kg, accommodating two operators with a substantial amount of tools and materials, ensuring high productivity at height.
- Superior Rough Terrain Performance:
- 4-Wheel Drive (4WD): Standard 4WD ensures maximum traction and mobility across adverse ground conditions, including mud, sand, uneven surfaces, and steep inclines.
- Standard Oscillating Axle: Provides continuous ground contact for all four wheels, enhancing stability and traction, especially on challenging, uneven terrain.
- High Gradeability (up to 45%): Capable of climbing significant slopes, allowing access to virtually any outdoor job site.
- Foam-Filled Tyres: Standard rough-terrain, foam-filled tyres provide excellent traction and puncture resistance, minimizing downtime.
- Powerful Diesel Engine: Typically powered by a reliable and efficient diesel engine (e.g., Deutz TD2.9L4 Tier 4 Final, approx. 50 kW / 67 hp), offering robust performance, fuel efficiency, and compliance with modern emission standards.
- JLG's QuikStik® Boom Design: This patented feature significantly reduces lift/lower cycle times, allowing operators to quickly move between different work positions, boosting overall productivity.
- Advanced Design Electronics (Control ADE®) System: Provides smoother machine functions, increased fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions through optimized system management and diagnostic capabilities.
- Proportional Controls & Simultaneous Movements: Features highly responsive proportional controls for smooth, precise, and accurate movements of all boom and platform functions. The ability to perform multiple functions simultaneously greatly enhances operational efficiency.
- Ergonomic Operator Platform: A spacious 0.91m x 1.83m (3 ft x 6 ft) low-mount platform provides a comfortable and secure working area. It includes a 180-degree powered platform rotator for optimal positioning without repositioning the entire machine
- Comprehensive Safety Features:
- Load Sensing System: Prevents lifting if the platform load exceeds the safe working limit.
- 4-Degree Tilt Alarm/Indicator Light: Alerts operators and automatically limits functions if the machine's tilt angle exceeds safe operating parameters.
- Engine Distress Warning / Shut-down System: Protects the engine from damage and ensures safe operation.
- Emergency Stop Buttons: Located on both the platform and ground control panels for immediate shutdown.
- JLG SkyGuard® Active System: A standard feature that enhances safety by stopping all boom functions if an operator is pushed or falls against the control panel, significantly reducing the risk of crushing injuries.
- All Motion Alarm: Provides audible warnings during machine movement.
- Gull-Wing Turntable Hoods: Allow for easy access to engine and hydraulic components for maintenance.
Applications
The JLG 800AJ is an ideal machine for a wide array of demanding applications, particularly those requiring significant reach and adaptability to challenging environments:
- Large-Scale Construction: Steel erection, cladding installation, roofing, exterior painting, bridge construction and inspection, and general facade work on high-rise buildings.
- Industrial Facilities: Maintenance, inspection, and repair of large industrial complexes, power plants, refineries, chemical plants, and manufacturing facilities, especially for accessing elevated pipe racks, tanks, and structural components.
- Shipbuilding & Marine Maintenance: Providing access for construction, maintenance, and painting on large vessels and in shipyards.
- Telecommunications & Utilities: Installation and maintenance of cell towers, high-voltage lines, and other overhead infrastructure.
- Building Maintenance: High-level cleaning, window washing, lighting installation, and general maintenance on large commercial and institutional buildings.
- Outdoor Events & Venues: Setting up complex rigging, lighting, and sound systems at large outdoor concerts, festivals, and sporting events.
- Logistics & Ports: Maintenance of large container cranes and other port equipment.
