The H340AJ by JLG is a hybrid-powered articulating boom lift designed to blend the efficiency of electric operation with the power of a diesel engine, offering versatility for both indoor and outdoor applications. It's tailored for construction, maintenance, or any task requiring access to heights in environments where both reach and environmental considerations are important.
Performance:
- Lift Height: Provides a platform height of 33 feet 10 inches (10.33 meters), offering a working height of 39 feet 10 inches (12.15 meters).
- Horizontal Reach: Extends to 20 feet (6.1 meters), allowing for work over obstacles or in tight spaces.
- Up and Over: Features an up-and-over clearance of 17 feet (5.18 meters), ideal for navigating around building features or machinery.
Power and Efficiency:
- Hybrid System: Combines a Tier 4 Final diesel-powered generator with 8 x 12V AGM batteries for electric operation, providing low emissions and efficient fuel usage. The electric motors ensure silent and emission-free operation when needed, switching to diesel for more demanding tasks or recharging the batteries.
Capacity and Platform:
- Offers a platform capacity of 500 pounds (227 kg), suitable for one or two workers plus tools. The platform dimensions are approximately 5 feet by 2 feet 6 inches.
Terrainability:
- Equipped with 4-wheel drive and standard lug-tread pneumatic tires for excellent terrainability, with a gradeability of up to 45%, making it adept for outdoor construction sites or industrial areas with uneven ground.
Additional Features:
- Diesel-Like Performance: Four independent electric-drive motors provide terrainability akin to a diesel machine.
- Hybrid Technology: Runs on batteries charged by the diesel generator, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
- Versatility: Allows work both indoors and outdoors with the benefits of electric efficiency and diesel power.
- Low Emissions: Experience reduced fuel use, emissions, noise, and maintenance compared to traditional diesel models.
Operational Benefits:
- The H340AJ is designed for flexibility, offering the quiet operation of electric lifts for indoor tasks while maintaining the power and endurance of diesel for outdoor or extended operations. This hybrid approach minimizes environmental impact and operational costs.
Dimensions and Transport:
- When stowed, it measures roughly 18 feet 2 inches (5.54 meters) in length, 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 meters) in width, and 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 meters) in height, making it relatively compact for its capabilities, facilitating transport and deployment in various work environments.
