Advantages

• Proven diesel power: The Deutz diesel powerplant is known across the industry for dependable starts, strong torque at low RPMs, and long service life. For buyers running multi-shift operations or working in remote locations, this reputation translates into fewer interruptions and predictable maintenance planning.
• All-terrain traction: 4WD delivers confident mobility on uneven and unimproved ground. Whether you are navigating gravel, packed dirt, or mild mud, four-wheel drive helps keep your crew productive by maintaining steady travel and positioning near the work area.
• Reduced downtime from tires: Foam filled tires provide excellent puncture resistance when compared with air-filled alternatives. On busy sites with debris or sharp edges, foam filled tires can significantly cut unexpected flats and help maintain a consistent project schedule.
• Precise positioning with a jib: The integrated jib provides that critical final range of motion for accurate platform placement. When working around steel, piping, duct runs, or building features, the jib helps operators fine-tune their approach to access tight or obstructed areas with less repositioning.
• 80-foot class reach: A platform height of 80 ft enables safe access to elevated work like structural connections, cladding, signage, lighting, process equipment, and more. The articulating design supports up-and-over reach, so crews can work around obstacles that would limit straight boom models.
• JLG durability and support: JLG’s 800 series has a long-standing reputation for robust construction, straightforward serviceability, and parts availability. For owners, that means stable uptime and a predictable maintenance path over the life of the machine.

Applications

The JLG 800AJ is a versatile choice for contractors and facility teams who need reliable up-and-over access across a wide range of environments. Typical use cases include:

• General construction: Framing access, exterior finishing, window installation, and building envelope work—especially where angles or overhangs create obstacles.
• Steel erection and industrial work: Reaching connection points, setting catwalks, installing mezzanines, and accessing structural details within congested frameworks.
• Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades: HVAC unit placement and service, duct and conduit runs, electrical rough-in and finish work in complex spaces.
• Plant maintenance: Equipment changeouts, facility inspections, lighting and sprinkler work, and repairs in manufacturing or processing plants with tight layouts.
• Energy and utilities: Substation work, refinery and petrochemical maintenance, tank inspections, and power-generation facility tasks requiring height and agility.
• Ports, shipyards, and rail: Access for repairs, coatings, signage, and infrastructure projects where ground conditions vary and reach is essential.
• Property and stadium maintenance: Scoreboard and lighting service, signage installation, and façade upkeep in large venues or corporate campuses.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used articulating boom lift like this 2016 JLG 800AJ can significantly improve total cost of ownership. First, the acquisition price—$59,500.00—delivers immediate savings compared to new, without compromising on the core capabilities contractors need for daily production. Second, the Deutz diesel engine offers a strong balance of fuel efficiency and durability, helping control operating costs while supporting long service intervals when maintained properly. Third, foam filled tires reduce downtime from punctures, which can directly improve jobsite efficiency.

Because 4WD extends access to more of the site and the jib simplifies final positioning, crews can complete more tasks per setup, often reducing the number of moves or the time spent reconfiguring other equipment. For owners who keep close watch on utilization, that extra flexibility can translate into better schedule performance and higher fleet productivity. JLG’s wide parts availability and service support also contribute to predictable maintenance planning, which is key to long-term value.
