The 1500SJ by JLG is one of the largest self-propelled telescopic boom lifts available, engineered for applications demanding extreme height with significant reach. It's designed for use in construction, maintenance of tall structures, or any job site requiring access to high elevations without the need for an oversized load permit.
Performance:
- Lift Height: Achieves a platform height of 150 feet (45.72 meters), providing a working height of 156 feet (47.55 meters).
- Horizontal Reach: Extends to 80 feet (24.38 meters), allowing for extensive outreach over obstacles or to distant work areas.
- Up and Over: With its telescoping jib, it offers flexibility for some up-and-over tasks, though specifics on this are less detailed.
Power and Efficiency:
- Powered by a Deutz TCD 3.6L4 Tier 4 Final diesel engine, delivering 141 hp for robust performance. The fuel tank capacity is 52 gallons (196.84 liters), supporting long operational periods.
Capacity and Platform:
- Features dual capacity options:
- Unrestricted: 500 lbs (226.8 kg)
- Restricted: 1,000 lbs (453.59 kg)This allows for carrying additional equipment or multiple workers to the work area. The platform dimensions are approximately 8 feet by 3 feet.
Terrainability:
- Equipped with 4-wheel drive and an oscillating axle for superior performance on rough terrains, with a gradeability of up to 45%. This ensures stability and mobility in challenging outdoor environments.
Additional Features:
- QuikStik Boom: For rapid movement from ground to full height, enhancing productivity by reducing setup time.
- DuraTough Hood: Enhances durability and reduces maintenance due to its impact-resistant material.
- 360-Degree Continuous Rotation: For comprehensive reach around the base without the need for repositioning.
- Advanced Control System: With an LCD display for operator ease and efficiency.
Operational Benefits:
- The 1500SJ is designed for productivity in high-elevation tasks, minimizing the need for repositioning due to its extensive reach. Its design allows for transport without an oversized load permit, making it more logistically manageable for high-capacity applications.
Dimensions and Transport:
- When stowed, it measures approximately 42 feet 6 inches (12.95 meters) in length, 8 feet 2 inches (2.49 meters) in width, and 9 feet 10 inches (2.99 meters) in height. Transporting this lift requires planning due to its size, but its capabilities in reach and height justify the logistics involved.
