The 400S HC3 by JLG is an engine-powered telescopic boom lift designed for applications where high reach and capacity are essential. The "HC3" model stands for High Capacity, which means it's tailored for tasks requiring the lifting of heavier loads or multiple workers at height, making it ideal for construction, maintenance, or industrial use.
Performance:
- Lift Height: Offers a platform height of 40 feet (12.19 meters), providing a working height of 46 feet (14.02 meters).
- Horizontal Reach: Extends to 33 feet 3 inches (10.13 meters), facilitating work over obstacles or in areas with limited access.
- Up and Over: While primarily focused on horizontal reach, its telescopic design allows for some up-and-over work.
Power and Efficiency:
- Powered by a Deutz D2.9 L4 Tier 4 Final diesel engine, delivering 49 hp for robust performance. It includes variable speed control for improved fuel efficiency. The fuel tank capacity is approximately 22 gallons (83.28 liters).
Capacity and Platform:
- The HC3 model features three capacity zones:
- Unrestricted: 660 lbs (299.37 kg)
- Restricted: 750 lbs (340.19 kg)
- Further Restricted: 1,000 lbs (453.59 kg)This allows for lifting more workers or equipment, enhancing productivity. The platform size is approximately 5 feet by 2 feet 6 inches.
Terrainability:
- Equipped with 4-wheel drive and an oscillating axle, it's designed for rough terrains, with a gradeability of up to 45%, ensuring stability and mobility on challenging sites.
Additional Features:
- DuraTough Hood: For durability and reduced maintenance due to its impact-resistant material.
- Automatic Load Sensing System: Enhances safety by adjusting operations based on load weight.
- 360-Degree Continuous Rotation: For comprehensive reach around the base without the need to reposition.
- Improved Multifunction Capability: Increases productivity by allowing for simultaneous operations.
Operational Benefits:
- The 400S HC3 is designed for demanding applications where both reach and capacity are critical. Its high-capacity zones offer flexibility for various job requirements, reducing the need for repositioning and thus enhancing work efficiency.
Dimensions and Transport:
- When stowed, it measures roughly 21 feet 4 inches (6.5 meters) in length, 7 feet 8 inches (2.34 meters) in width, and 8 feet 2 inches (2.49 meters) in height. Its size necessitates planning for transportation but is justified by its capabilities in reach and load handling.
