47.72m Diesel Boom Lift Hire Specifications

The 47.72m diesel boom lift is designed to provide safe and efficient access for outdoor working-at-height applications. Powerful, highly manoeuvrable, and built for rough-terrain environments, this machine is ideal for maintenance, installation, inspection, servicing, and refurbishment projects where exceptional height and outreach are required.

Providing a maximum working height of 47.72m and a platform height of 45.72m, the machine enables operators to safely complete overhead tasks while maintaining excellent productivity. The telescopic boom design provides outstanding straight-line outreach, allowing operators to access work areas over long distances while reducing the need to reposition the machine.

The substantial working envelope allows operators to reach difficult areas without repeatedly repositioning the machine. This improves productivity, reduces downtime, and supports safe working around site obstacles, structures, and building features.

Powered by a reliable diesel engine, the machine delivers excellent outdoor performance and dependable operation throughout the working day. Four-wheel-drive capability, oscillating axle technology, and rough-terrain tyres provide exceptional traction across uneven ground conditions, helping operators work safely and efficiently on challenging construction and industrial sites.

The impressive 25.03m horizontal outreach makes this machine particularly effective for accessing difficult areas above roofs, over structures, around steelwork, and behind building obstacles where maximum reach is required. Combined with its exceptional 47.72m working height, the machine is highly productive on large-scale construction, industrial, energy, and infrastructure projects.

Its dual platform capacity of 227kg unrestricted or 450kg restricted accommodates up to three operators with tools and materials at height.

Designed for rugged terrain, the machine features four-wheel drive, multiple steering modes (four-wheel, two-wheel, and crab steer), and 40% gradeability for confident site mobility. A 6m–7.6m articulating jib pivots vertically and horizontally, enabling precise positioning in demanding applications.

Enhanced with 360° continuous swing and JLG’s Control ADE® (Advanced Design Electronics) system with proportional joystick controls, the 1500SJ delivers smooth, responsive operation. Optional features such as SkySense® enhanced detection, SkyPower® generator systems, and cold weather packages further expand its operational versatility.

• Reduced manual handling requirements
• Fewer machine repositioning movements
• Greater flexibility for installation projects
