Description
This 2019 Factory Recon JLG 860SJ Telescopic Boom Lift delivers the reach and rough-terrain capability needed for demanding construction, industrial, maintenance, and facility applications. Originally manufactured in 2010, this machine underwent JLG’s Factory Reconditioning program in August 2019, as documented by the JLG Ground Support reconditioning plate installed on the machine.
The JLG 860SJ provides an 86 ft platform height, approximately 92 ft working height, and up to 75 ft of horizontal outreach, giving operators excellent access to elevated and hard-to-reach work areas. Its telescopic boom design makes it particularly well suited for applications where substantial horizontal reach is as important as working height.
Platform capacity is rated at 500 lbs unrestricted, with up to 750 lbs maximum capacity within the applicable operating envelope. Combined with four-wheel drive and 45% gradeability, the 860SJ is designed to maneuver across demanding outdoor jobsites and provide productive access at height.
This machine is also equipped with JLG SkyPower, providing onboard power capability for operating tools and equipment from the platform. The hour meter currently shows approximately 1,157 hours.
Unlike a machine that has simply been repainted or independently refurbished, this 860SJ carries a JLG Ground Support Factory Reconditioning plate, documenting its manufacturer-performed reconditioning in 2019.

Frequently Asked Questions About JLG Telescopic Boom Lifts
What is a JLG telescopic boom lift?
A JLG telescopic boom lift, also known as a straight boom lift, is an aerial work platform with a single, extendable boom arm that provides direct horizontal and vertical reach. These lifts are ideal when you need to access hard-to-reach areas without obstructions, such as tall buildings, rooftops, or elevated work zones in wide-open spaces.
Where are JLG telescopic boom lifts commonly used?
JLG telescopic boom lifts are used in:
Commercial and industrial construction
Oil, gas, and utility work
Stadium and event venue maintenance
Bridge and highway repair
Steel erection and assembly
They’re perfect for projects where you need to reach far and high with minimal setup time.
What’s the difference between a telescopic and an articulating boom lift?
Telescopic boom lifts extend in a straight line, offering maximum reach and speed—best for open job sites.
Articulating boom lifts have multiple joints and are better for maneuvering around obstacles or working in tighter spaces.
If your job requires long, straight access at height, a telescopic boom lift is often the better choice.
