Boom Lift: Page 68

Extend Your Reach with the 1500SJ

Ideal for general contractors, glaziers, window cleaners, welders and more, the JLG® 1500SJ is the first self-propelled telescopic boom lift that takes operators 150 ft and doesn’t require an oversized load permit. A telescoping jib provides greater work envelope flexibility and even more outreach at elevation while 100,000 psi steel provides strong support for work at heights. The 1500SJ features dual 1,000/500 lb capacity. It’s the largest self-propelled telescopic boom available.
