Condition and Machine Integrity

This JLG 450AJ has undergone NLEQ’s thorough inspection process, ensuring that every functional component meets high standards for performance and reliability.

The Deutz diesel engine runs efficiently and is known for strong torque, fuel economy, and long service intervals. The 4WD system provides traction across uneven surfaces, while the self-propelled functionality ensures smooth travel between work areas. The newly installed generator in 2025 adds extra reliability for power supply needs, especially on remote or partially developed job sites. All articulating points, controls, and hydraulic functions have been tested to confirm smooth operation.

Advantages of the JLG 450AJ Design

The JLG 450AJ Articulating Boom Lift is designed for practical versatility and operator confidence. Its 45-foot height capability allows workers to safely access elevated structures, while the articulating boom design provides exceptional up-and-over reach for hard-to-access areas. The included jib increases accuracy for positioning the platform in tight or angled spaces. The diesel-powered Deutz engine ensures strong performance even during long operating cycles, providing the torque needed for lifting and traveling on uneven terrain. The 4WD drive system boosts stability and traction, making the machine suitable for outdoor construction sites, rough industrial lots, and unpredictable weather conditions.

Practical Applications

This articulating boom lift is ideal for a wide range of applications across multiple industries. Construction crews benefit from its ability to reach roofing structures, steel frameworks, concrete walls, ceilings, and multi-story facades. Maintenance contractors use the JLG 450AJ for facility repairs, lighting work, painting, and signage installation. Industrial operations rely on its precise articulation to navigate complex equipment layouts. Utility workers appreciate the combination of height and maneuverability for infrastructure servicing. Because the machine is self-propelled and 4WD equipped, it performs well on new construction zones, warehouse exteriors, outdoor plants, and rural service areas.

Ownership Value

Buying a used JLG 450AJ with documented testing and honest inspection offers strong long-term value. JLG machines are widely respected for their durability, build quality, and high resale value. The Deutz diesel engine is known for longevity, meaning fewer mechanical concerns over time. With only 1628 hours, this unit has plenty of life left for rental companies, contractors, and industrial operators. The new generator installed in 2025 reduces immediate maintenance expenses and supports dependable operation for years to come. For buyers seeking a cost-effective alternative to new equipment without sacrificing performance, this machine provides excellent return on investment.

Why This 450AJ Stands Out

Not all used boom lifts offer the same reliability or thorough conditioning. This particular 2016 JLG 450AJ distinguishes itself through its low hours, upgraded generator, and strong mechanical foundation. The combination of Deutz diesel power, 4WD capability, articulating reach, and smooth self-propelled movement makes it suitable for both heavy-duty and fine-detail applications. Its professional inspection by NLEQ ensures that buyers receive a machine that is ready to go to work immediately, minimizing downtime and unexpected repair costs. For businesses that value stability, efficiency, and affordability, this model strikes the ideal balance.
