Description
This 2016 JLG 450AJ Articulating Boom Lift has 2,572 hours and combines a 45-ft platform height with the maneuverability and up-and-over capability of an articulating boom. The 450AJ is a proven JLG rough-terrain aerial platform well suited for construction, industrial maintenance, facility work, steel erection, and other applications where operators need to position around obstacles at height.
Unlike a straight telescopic boom, the 450AJ uses an articulating boom assembly and jib to provide additional positioning flexibility when the work area isn’t directly overhead. Its approximately 45-ft platform height and 51-ft working height make it a practical mid-size option for contractors who need substantial reach without stepping into the footprint and transport requirements of a larger boom lift.
This machine is equipped with JLG SkyPower, providing onboard power capability at the platform for operating tools and equipment. The rough-terrain chassis, four-wheel drive, oscillating axle, and proportional controls help make the 450AJ a versatile machine for demanding outdoor jobsites.
The machine presents well in the supplied photos, with clean body panels and boom components, a complete platform and control station, and rough-terrain tires.

FAQ's About JLG Articulating Boom Lifts
What is an articulating boom lift used for?
Articulating boom lifts from JLG are designed for elevated work in hard-to-reach or obstructed areas. Their multiple hinged sections allow operators to go “up and over” obstacles, making them ideal for:
Building and facility maintenance
Construction work around structures
Tree trimming and outdoor signage
These lifts are often used in commercial, industrial, and outdoor applications where flexibility and precision are key.
What’s the difference between articulating and telescopic boom lifts?
While both lift types provide vertical and horizontal reach, articulating boom lifts feature multiple pivot points (or “joints”) that allow for more flexible positioning around obstacles. In contrast, telescopic boom lifts (also called straight booms) extend in a straight line and are better suited for open spaces with fewer obstructions.
Can JLG articulating boom lifts handle rough terrain?
Yes. Many JLG articulating boom lifts are 4WD and built for rough terrain, featuring large tires, high ground clearance, and strong stability controls. These models are ideal for construction sites, outdoor maintenance, and uneven job surfaces.
