The T500J by JLG is an engine-powered towable boom lift designed for flexibility and ease of transport. It's particularly suited for applications where reach and maneuverability are needed, but space for transporting larger machines is limited. This model is ideal for tasks such as tree trimming, exterior building maintenance, or construction work in confined areas.
Performance:
- Lift Height: Offers a platform height of 50 feet (15.24 meters), providing a working height of 56 feet (17.07 meters).
- Horizontal Reach: Extends to 30 feet (9.14 meters), allowing for work over obstacles or in tight spaces.
- Up and Over: Features an up-and-over capability of 18 feet (5.49 meters), useful for navigating around structures or equipment.
Power and Efficiency:
- Available with either a 24V DC electric motor or a 9 hp gasoline engine, providing options based on environmental or power availability considerations. This dual power option allows for versatility in different work scenarios.
Capacity and Platform:
- Has a platform capacity of 500 pounds (226.8 kg), suitable for one or two workers with tools. The platform dimensions are approximately 2 feet 6 inches by 4 feet.
Terrainability:
- Once at the job site, it uses hydraulic auto-leveling outriggers for stability on uneven ground. It's not built for rough terrain but can handle slight irregularities once set up.
Additional Features:
- Combination Hitch: Standard for easy towing with vehicles like half-ton pickups, no CDL required.
- Industry-Leading Towing Speed: Up to 65 mph, allowing for quick transport between job sites.
- Air and Water Lines: Standard to the platform for operational convenience.
- Accessory Mounting Tray: Accommodates additional equipment like a generator, air compressor, or pressure washer.
Operational Benefits:
- The T500J's towable design means it can be easily transported to various job locations, reducing the need for large flatbed trailers. Its ability to operate on either electric or gasoline power makes it versatile for both indoor and outdoor use, where emissions or noise levels are considerations.
Dimensions and Transport:
- When stowed, it measures approximately 27 feet 4 inches (8.33 meters) in length, 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 meters) in width, and 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 meters) in height. This compact footprint enhances its transportability, though its height should be considered for storage or movement through tight spaces.
