The 800S HC3 by JLG is an engine-powered telescopic boom lift designed for applications where extreme height, extensive reach, and high capacity are critical. The "HC3" designation stands for High Capacity, indicating this model's ability to handle heavier loads at height, making it ideal for construction, maintenance, or industrial tasks that demand both reach and capacity.
Performance:
- Lift Height: Provides a platform height of 80 feet (24.38 meters), offering a working height of 86 feet (26.21 meters).
- Horizontal Reach: Extends to 71 feet 1 inch (21.67 meters), allowing for significant outreach over obstacles or to distant work areas.
- Up and Over: While primarily focused on telescopic reach, it can manage some up-and-over tasks.
Power and Efficiency:
- Powered by a Deutz TD 2.9L Tier 4 Final diesel engine, delivering 74 hp for robust performance. The engine includes variable speed control for better fuel efficiency. The fuel tank capacity is approximately 30 gallons (113.56 liters).
Capacity and Platform:
- This 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 capacity setup allows for lifting multiple workers or heavy equipment, enhancing productivity. The platform size is approximately 8 feet by 3 feet.
Terrainability:
- Equipped with 4-wheel drive and an oscillating axle for excellent performance on rough terrains, with a gradeability of up to 45%. This ensures stability and mobility on challenging job sites.
Additional Features:
- DuraTough Hood: For durability and reduced maintenance due to its impact-resistant material.
- Automatic Load Sensing System: Enhances safety by adjusting performance based on load weight.
- 360-Degree Continuous Rotation: For comprehensive reach around the base without repositioning.
- Improved Multifunction Capability: Increases productivity by allowing simultaneous operations.
Operational Benefits:
- The 800S HC3 is engineered for productivity with its extensive reach, significant height, and high-capacity options, minimizing the need for frequent repositioning and enhancing work efficiency in high-elevation tasks.
Dimensions and Transport:
- When stowed, it measures approximately 37 feet (11.28 meters) in length, 8 feet 2 inches (2.49 meters) in width, and 8 feet 4 inches (2.54 meters) in height. Its size requires careful planning for transportation but is justified by its capabilities in reach and load handling.
