Advantages of This Configuration

• Deutz Diesel: The Deutz Diesel powerplant is renowned for dependable starts, efficient fuel burn, and long-term durability. Deutz support and parts availability remain strong, making maintenance planning straightforward for owners and fleet managers who value uptime.
• 4WD: True 4WD helps this straight boom lift traverse uneven ground, rutted fill, and mildly soft conditions common on large projects. Better traction means less time stuck and more time at height, especially when access paths are less than ideal.
• Rough Terrain Tires: Purpose-built Rough Terrain Tires provide added bite and flotation in jobsite conditions where standard tires struggle. This leads to more predictable handling and safer travel between work areas.
• Jib for Fine Positioning: The jib increases flexibility at the top of the stick, allowing operators to make precise adjustments without constantly repositioning the chassis. This is particularly valuable when working around steel, piping, curtain wall, or complex façade geometry.
• 86' Platform Height: An 86' Platform Height gets your team up to elevated work planes used in large commercial construction, high-bay industrial facilities, and tall infrastructure applications.
• 92' Working Height: With 92' Working Height, operators gain the additional reach needed for overhead tasks while maintaining a comfortable working stance and tool clearance.

Applications

The JLG 860SJ Straight Boom Lift is a versatile asset across industries that demand safe, consistent access to high-elevation work zones. Typical use cases include:

• Structural Steel and Precast Erection: Extended vertical reach for placing bolts, welding, and connections at elevation.
• Building Envelope and Façade Work: Curtain wall installation, panel replacement, caulking, sealing, and glazing on mid- to high-elevation façades.
• Industrial Maintenance: Access for pipe, conduit, duct, and cable work in plants, warehouses, power facilities, and distribution hubs.
• Infrastructure and Utilities: Bridge maintenance, overhead utilities, stadiums, and lighting upgrades that require confident vertical access.
• Petrochemical and Energy Sites: Elevated inspection and maintenance tasks where reliable diesel power and controlled positioning are crucial.
• Large-Scale Fit-Outs: High-bay racking, MEP installation, and fire protection systems in distribution centers and manufacturing facilities.
