Description
The 2016 JLG 600S Telescopic Boom Lift is engineered for demanding aerial access projects where reach, lifting power and reliable performance matter most. Designed to perform in tough job-site conditions, it combines high platform height, wide outreach and rugged construction to ensure you can tackle major projects with confidence.
Powered by either a diesel or dual-fuel engine option, the 600S delivers excellent torque and runtime. Its four-wheel-drive system and 45% gradeability allow the machine to navigate slopes and rough terrain with ease. Because of its smart design, the 600S maintains stable performance even when positioned on challenging surfaces.
With a platform height of approximately 60 ft and horizontal outreach up to 50 ft 2 in, this boom lift gives users the ability to reach high elevations and extend far into work zones — especially useful for façade work, steel erection, maintenance and more. In addition, the unrestricted platform capacity of up to 1,000 lb means crews can work with tools, materials and personnel at height safely and efficiently.
Durability is built into every aspect of the 600S. Its oscillating axle and heavy-duty chassis contribute to reliable ground contact and long-term structural integrity. Furthermore, service-accessible engine compartments, tilt alarms, proportional controls and integrated safety systems help reduce downtime and improve operator confidence.
Whether you’re handling exterior building maintenance, large-scale installation tasks or industrial access requirements, the JLG 600S Telescopic Boom Lift offers the reach, capacity and rugged performance to get the job done. In short, its combination of height, outreach and all-terrain capability make it a smart choice for contractors, rental fleets and facility managers who demand high performance from their aerial equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Genie Telescopic Boom Lifts
What is a Genie telescopic boom lift?
A Genie telescopic boom lift (also called a straight boom lift) is an aerial work platform with a straight, extendable arm that provides maximum horizontal and vertical reach. Unlike articulating boom lifts, telescopic models extend in a straight line, making them ideal for jobs that require long, direct access to high areas.
Where are Genie telescopic boom lifts commonly used?
These lifts are ideal for:
Construction sites
Steel erection and framework
Bridge and highway work
Large-scale industrial projects
Outdoor maintenance on tall structures
They’re especially useful when you need to reach across wide gaps or work at high elevations without obstructions.
What’s the difference between telescopic and articulating boom lifts?
Telescopic boom lifts extend in a straight line for maximum outreach and are best for open areas.
Articulating boom lifts have multiple joints that allow for up-and-over maneuverability, making them ideal for tight or obstructed spaces.
Choose a telescopic boom when reach and height are more important than flexibility.
