This 2016 JLG 800AJ articulating boom lift, NLEQ# 147122, is a work-ready unit with just 2,698 operating hours and the sought-after configuration serious crews look for: Deutz diesel power, 4WD, rough terrain tires, SkyPower, an 8' platform, a jib for precise positioning, and the reach capabilities that make the 800AJ a staple on demanding jobsites. Competitively offered at $59,500, this used JLG 800AJ delivers the height, maneuverability, and reliability you need, backed by NLEQ’s trusted inspection process and industry-leading experience selling used heavy construction equipment.

Overview

The JLG 800AJ is one of the industry’s benchmark articulating boom lifts for elevated work where up-and-over access matters. With a platform height of 80' and an 86' working height, it provides ample vertical reach while its articulated design helps operators reach around obstacles and position right where the work is. This 2016 model pairs those capabilities with a proven Deutz diesel powerplant, true 4WD traction, and rough terrain tires to keep productivity high across uneven, muddy, or debris-littered surfaces. The spacious 8' platform accommodates a crew plus tools, and the jib enhances fine control at height. Add SkyPower for onboard electric power in the basket, and you have a versatile, production-ready boom that can handle construction, steel erection, maintenance, and industrial work with confidence.

Advantages

• Deutz Diesel Power: Known worldwide for dependable, fuel-efficient engines, Deutz provides reliable torque and smooth performance for lifting and repositioning. The widely supported service network and common parts availability help reduce downtime and simplify maintenance planning, which matters when you’re balancing schedules and crews.
• Diesel Efficiency and Durability: Diesel power is the standard for heavy-duty boom lifts because it offers the low-end grunt to handle challenging terrain and long workdays. For outdoor applications with frequent repositioning or grade transitions, diesel delivers steady power and long service life.
• 4WD for Real-World Traction: True 4WD enhances traction and control on uneven ground, packed stone, wet clay, or slopes typical of active jobsites. Operators gain confidence getting to the work—without time-consuming site prep—so productivity stays high even when conditions aren’t ideal.
• Rough Terrain Tires: Purpose-built rough terrain tires help the 800AJ float and grip where slab or narrow-tread machines struggle. They complement the 4WD system to reduce slippage, mitigate ruts, and smooth out bumps and debris for a more stable approach to the work area.
• 8' Platform: An 8-foot platform provides valuable elbow room for two workers and their tools, material, and accessories. The extra space makes a meaningful difference when welding, installing panels, running conduit, or performing maintenance tasks that require multiple tools or components at height.
• Jib for Precise Positioning: The jib adds the fine positioning control operators need to work efficiently around obstructions, under eaves, or into tight structural areas. It minimizes the need to re-stow and reposition the entire boom, saving time and maintaining safer work postures.
• 80' Platform Height and 86' Working Height: This reach puts a broad range of projects within easy access—multi-story exteriors, roof edges, industrial pipe racks, stadium lighting, and tall signage can all be handled with fewer moves and less setup time.
• SkyPower Onboard Electricity: SkyPower brings plug-in electric power right to the platform, enabling the use of corded tools, lights, and select accessories at height. That reduces generator shuffles and battery swaps, streamlining tasks like cutting, drilling, fastening, and light electrical work.
• Articulating Design: The articulating configuration of the 800AJ enables up-and-over capability to reach behind obstacles and complex structures where straight booms often can’t. This is ideal for plant maintenance, mechanical systems access, steel tie-ins, and architectural work.

Applications

Thanks to its combination of reach, articulation, diesel power, and terrain capability, this used JLG 800AJ articulating boom lift is a versatile solution across multiple sectors. Whether your work is greenfield construction or plant maintenance, the 800AJ is engineered to deliver consistent, safe access.

• Commercial Construction: Exterior facades, window installation, EIFS, glazing, and punch-list work all benefit from the 800AJ’s 80' platform height and jib precision.
• Industrial Facilities: Reach overhead piping, ductwork, cable trays, racks, and valves in refineries, power plants, and manufacturing environments while navigating around equipment.
• Steel Erection and Fabrication: Position safely for bolting, welding, and detailing with SkyPower available to run tools in the platform.
• Telecom and Utilities: Service antennas, transformers, and lighting with enough working height to reduce multiple setups.
• Signage and Lighting: Install, service, or relamp tall sign structures and stadium or parking lot lights with platform room for tools and materials.
• Maintenance and Repair: Roofing, gutters, painting, caulking, and building envelope repairs are streamlined by the jib and articulating boom sections.

Ownership Value

Owning a used JLG 800AJ backed by NLEQ offers a compelling return on investment. JLG’s broad parts availability and established service networks keep lifecycle costs predictable. Deutz engines are respected for longevity and stable parts support, which helps control maintenance budgets. The 4WD drivetrain and rough terrain tires reduce site-imposed limitations, keeping crews working instead of waiting. An 8' platform supports efficiency by cutting trips up and down for tools and material. SkyPower reduces the extra steps associated with external generators, and the jib’s fine control speeds up many at-height tasks. Combined with the 800AJ’s proven durability, these features help protect productivity, support higher utilization, and sustain resale value down the line.
