Advantages

• Diesel power: A diesel engine delivers the torque and duty-cycle durability that heavy construction demands. It provides consistent performance for lifting and driving, especially when working on challenging grades or moving across uneven surfaces. Diesel also remains the preferred choice for rough terrain applications and extended run time.
• 4WD traction: Four-wheel drive improves maneuverability and control on dirt, gravel, and jobsite conditions that are less than ideal. Whether you’re approaching a slab edge, working across compacted fill, or navigating light mud, 4WD helps you maintain traction and keep the project moving.
• 8' platform: The generous 8' platform provides extra elbow room for two workers plus tools and materials. More platform space simplifies tasks like installing long sections of fascia, handling larger panels, or working alongside a second craftsperson without constant repositioning.
• Rough terrain tires: Purpose-built rough terrain tires are designed to roll through jobsite debris and uneven ground with a more compliant footprint. They help reduce bouncing and improve stability and comfort, which contributes to steadier work at height and fewer interruptions for repositioning.
• Jib articulation: The jib adds critical articulation at the platform, allowing fine positioning around obstructions and enabling you to reach over, under, or around structure with less machine relocation. It is particularly helpful when finishing detail work, accessing recessed areas, or aligning to precise install points.
• 60' platform height: A 60' platform height hits the sweet spot for a wide range of construction and maintenance tasks, providing ample reach for multi-story work without the footprint and logistics of larger machines.
• 66' working height: A 66' working height extends your effective reach for hands-on tasks, allowing personnel to operate tools and materials comfortably at elevation. This capability broadens your task list and reduces the need for scaffolding or multiple machines.

Applications

The JLG 600AJ articulating boom lift is built for productivity across trades. Its combination of platform height, jib articulation, and rough terrain mobility makes it a versatile choice for contractors and facility teams that need reliable height access in dynamic environments. From structural work to finishing trades, the 600AJ supports a wide range of applications where boom articulation and up-and-over reach are essential.

• General construction and renovation: Framing, sheathing, siding, exterior finish, and punch-list work where reach and precise platform positioning are crucial.
• Steel erection and industrial maintenance: Accessing connections, performing inspections, and completing touch-up or retrofit tasks around installed structure.
• Electrical and mechanical trades: Running conduit, setting fixtures, servicing rooftop units, and completing HVAC or fire protection installs at elevation.
• Building envelope and façade: Window installation, sealant work, EIFS, waterproofing, and façade maintenance where consistent platform positioning streamlines productivity.
• Utilities and infrastructure: Lighting, signage, and overhead systems in municipal, commercial, or industrial settings.
• Petrochemical and energy: Up-and-over access around piping, racks, and equipment where the jib enhances positioning without extensive machine movement.
• Tree care and property management: Select pruning, lighting, and exterior maintenance tasks requiring stable elevation and controlled articulation.

Ownership Value

Investing in a used JLG 600AJ delivers proven capability at a significantly lower acquisition cost than new equipment. With 4WD, diesel power, and rough terrain tires, this boom lift is designed to keep crews productive in real-world conditions—reducing downtime related to access, positioning, and traction. The 8' platform increases efficiency by allowing additional tools and materials at height, which means fewer trips up and down. The 60' platform height and 66' working height cover a broad range of commercial building tasks, minimizing the need to rent multiple machines at different stages of the project.

JLG’s long-standing reputation in the articulating boom lift category translates into strong parts availability, broad service support, and widespread operator familiarity. That market depth helps reduce lifecycle friction—faster maintenance turnaround, easier operator onboarding, and predictable performance characteristics. For fleet managers, the model’s popularity supports solid utilization rates. For owner-operators, it’s a dependable, capable boom lift that expands bid opportunities without overextending capital.
