The 400S by JLG is an engine-powered telescopic boom lift tailored for applications in construction, maintenance, and industrial settings where height, reach, and maneuverability are crucial. It's designed to provide efficient access to elevated work areas, balancing performance with ease of use.
Performance:
- Lift Height: Achieves a platform height of 40 feet (12.19 meters), offering a working height of 46 feet (14.02 meters).
- Horizontal Reach: Extends up to 33 feet 3 inches (10.13 meters), allowing work over obstacles or in areas with limited access.
- Up and Over: While its primary focus is on horizontal reach, its telescopic nature provides some up-and-over capabilities.
Power and Efficiency:
- Powered by a Deutz D2.9 L4 Tier 4 Final diesel engine, which delivers 49 hp, ensuring reliable performance with environmental compliance. The fuel tank capacity is approximately 22 gallons (83.28 liters), supporting extended operation.
Capacity and Platform:
- The standard platform capacity is 500 pounds (227 kg), with options for higher capacity through the HC3 (High Capacity) model:
- Unrestricted: 660 lbs (299.37 kg)
- Restricted: 750 lbs (340.19 kg)
- Further Restricted: 1,000 lbs (453.59 kg)The platform dimensions are around 5 feet by 2 feet 6 inches.
Terrainability:
- Features 4-wheel drive and an oscillating axle for superior performance on rough terrains, capable of handling slopes with a gradeability of up to 45%.
Additional Features:
- DuraTough Hood: Reduces maintenance needs with its durable, impact-resistant material.
- Variable Speed Engine Control: Enhances fuel efficiency by adjusting engine speed to match workload.
- 360-Degree Continuous Rotation: Allows for comprehensive reach around the base without repositioning.
- Improved Multifunction Capability: Increases productivity by enabling simultaneous operations.
Operational Benefits:
- The 400S is built for productivity in environments where reach and capacity are critical. Its high-capacity options make it suitable for tasks involving multiple workers or heavy equipment at height, reducing the need for frequent repositioning.
Dimensions and Transport:
- When stowed, it measures approximately 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 requires planning for transportation but is justified by its reach and capacity capabilities.
