JLG 450AJ articulating boom lift
The JLG 450AJ is a dual-fuel (gas/propane) articulating boom lift designed for extended reach and positioning flexibility in demanding jobsite environments. With a maximum platform height of 45 ft and a working height of approximately 51 ft, this unit is suited for construction, maintenance, and installation work where both vertical and horizontal access are required.
Articulating Boom & Up-and-Over Reach
The 450AJ features an articulating boom with a jib, allowing operators to reach up and over obstacles, access tight areas, and position precisely at height. Horizontal outreach is approximately 25 ft, providing strong side reach for structures, roofs, and equipment.
Platform Capacity & Work Area
The platform supports up to 500 lbs (restricted capacity), accommodating two workers with tools and materials. The basket includes 180° hydraulic rotation for accurate positioning without repositioning the machine.
Dual-Fuel Power for Versatility
Equipped with a gas/propane dual-fuel engine, this lift can be operated outdoors on gasoline or switched to propane for cleaner operation in more sensitive or semi-enclosed environments. This provides flexibility across a wider range of jobsites compared to diesel-only units.
Mobility & Jobsite Performance
Built for jobsite performance, the 450AJ includes four-wheel drive, an oscillating axle, and foam-filled rough terrain tires for stability and traction on uneven ground. It offers strong gradeability (around 45%) and proportional controls for smooth driving and precise boom operation.
