The 860SJ HC3 by JLG is an engine-powered telescopic boom lift designed for applications where extreme height, substantial horizontal reach, and high capacity are essential. The "HC3" stands for High Capacity, indicating this model's capability to lift heavier loads or accommodate multiple workers at significant heights, making it perfect for large construction projects, maintenance of high structures, or industrial tasks.
Performance:
- Lift Height: Delivers a platform height of 86 feet (26.21 meters), providing a working height of 92 feet (28.04 meters).
- Horizontal Reach: Extends to 75 feet (22.86 meters), offering one of the longest reaches in its class for work over significant obstacles or to distant areas.
- Up and Over: While primarily focused on telescopic extension, it can manage some up-and-over tasks.
Power and Efficiency:
- Powered by a Deutz TD 2.9L Tier 4 Final diesel engine, which provides 74 hp for robust performance. Variable speed control optimizes fuel efficiency. The fuel tank capacity is around 30 gallons (113.56 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 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 in challenging outdoor conditions.
Additional Features:
- DuraTough Hood: Increases durability and reduces maintenance due to its impact-resistant material.
- Automatic Load Sensing System: Enhances safety by adjusting performance based on the load.
- 360-Degree Continuous Rotation: For comprehensive reach around the base without repositioning.
- Improved Multifunction Capability: Increases productivity by allowing simultaneous operations.
Operational Benefits:
- The 860SJ HC3 is engineered for high productivity in demanding environments, with its extensive reach, significant height, and high-capacity options reducing the need for repositioning and enhancing efficiency on job sites.
Dimensions and Transport:
- When stowed, it measures roughly 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, requiring planning for transportation but justified by its capabilities in reach and load handling.
