Description
This 2017 JLG 450AJ articulating boom lift is a versatile diesel-powered aerial work platform designed to provide excellent up-and-over access for construction, maintenance, industrial, and facility applications. With a 45 ft platform height, 25 ft horizontal reach, and articulating boom design, the 450AJ gives operators the ability to position the platform around obstacles and reach difficult work areas.
This machine has 1,824 hours and a 550 lb platform capacity. Its rough-terrain chassis, four-wheel drive, and 45% gradeability make the 450AJ well suited for outdoor jobsites where traction and maneuverability are important.
The machine presents as a used rental-fleet unit with normal cosmetic wear consistent with its age and previous use. The photos show a straight overall machine with good-looking rough-terrain tires and the expected cosmetic wear to the paint, decals, and platform.
The JLG 450AJ is a popular mid-size articulating boom because it combines useful working height and outreach with a relatively compact footprint. It is a strong choice for contractors and maintenance operations needing an articulating boom without moving into a larger, heavier machine.

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.
