Common Questions 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.
