This 2015 JLG 460SJ Straight Boom Lift pairs dependable JLG engineering with a proven Deutz diesel powerplant to deliver confident height access and jobsite productivity. Showing just 3,250 hours and offered at $28,500, NLEQ# 147550 has been carefully inspected and tested by our team so you can buy with confidence. With a 46' Platform and 52' Working Height, a 4WD drivetrain, Oscillating Axle, Rough Terrain Tires, a Jib for precise positioning, and an 8' w/Side Entry Platform, this used JLG 460SJ is a work-ready aerial solution for contractors who need reliable reach and traction in demanding conditions.

Overview

The JLG 460SJ is a straight boom lift designed to get crews and materials safely to height with speed and stability. The “S” in 460SJ stands for “straight,” describing its telescopic design that delivers direct, efficient reach without the articulation complexity of knuckle booms. That straightforward configuration is a favorite in construction, steel erection, industrial maintenance, and infrastructure projects where line-of-sight access is key. Backed by a Deutz diesel and 4WD with an Oscillating Axle and Rough Terrain Tires, this machine thrives on unimproved surfaces. The 8' w/Side Entry Platform supports room to work and easy entry/exit, while the Jib lets operators fine-tune their positioning at height to minimize re-leveling and time-consuming repositioning of the chassis.

Advantages and What the Features Mean on the Job

Deutz: The Deutz diesel engine is a cornerstone of reliability in rough-terrain aerial lifts. Known for durability and fuel efficiency, Deutz power helps keep operating costs predictable while delivering steady torque for boom functions and travel. Parts support and service expertise are abundant, which keeps downtime and maintenance headaches to a minimum.

Diesel: A diesel-powered straight boom lift is the preferred choice for outdoor and rough-terrain work. Diesel excels in long duty cycles, supports robust hydraulic performance, and offers the kind of working endurance that crews demand on big sites and infrastructure projects.

4WD: Four-wheel drive provides the traction needed to climb grades, cross uneven terrain, and traverse gravel, mud, or compacted soil with confidence. On large sites where ground conditions change daily, 4WD minimizes delays and keeps productivity steady by reducing the need for ground prep or tow assistance.

Oscillating Axle: An oscillating axle keeps all four tires engaged with the ground as the machine encounters ruts, slopes, or undulations. That constant ground contact improves stability and traction, reduces wheel slip, and helps maintain precise boom control when navigating uneven surfaces.

Rough Terrain Tires: Purpose-built rough terrain tires provide the footprint and tread needed to handle construction sites, plants, and laydown yards. They enhance ride quality, improve traction, and reduce the likelihood of getting bogged down in soft ground, all of which translates to more time in the air and less time repositioning.

Jib: The jib adds an essential layer of flexibility to a straight boom lift. Once you’re at elevation, minor adjustments can be made with the jib rather than moving the entire boom or chassis. That means faster alignment with steel, mechanicals, or façade elements, and more precise positioning in tight or obstructed work areas.

8' w/Side Entry Platform: An 8-foot platform gives crews extra room for tools and materials, making tasks like panel handling, pipe fitting, or glazing more efficient. The side entry eases access, especially when the platform is staged near obstructions or when loading long materials. The result is safer, faster workflow with fewer interruptions.

46' Platform and 52' Working Height: With a 46' Platform height and 52' Working Height, the JLG 460SJ hits a crucial reach class for mid-rise construction, industrial maintenance, and facility work. That reach is ideal for setting steel, installing HVAC units, running conduit, or accessing conveyors, pipe racks, and mezzanines—often without repositioning, which saves significant time over a shift.

Applications

• General Construction: Structural steel, decking, sheathing, and exterior envelope work where straight, direct reach is advantageous.
• Mechanical and Electrical: HVAC installation, ducting, pipework, conduit, and cable tray where platform space and precise placement matter.
• Industrial and Plant Maintenance: Equipment access in manufacturing, power generation, aggregates, and processing facilities.
• Infrastructure: Bridges, overpasses, water treatment, and public works projects requiring reliable reach and rough-terrain capability.
• Commercial Property: Warehouse lighting, racking, façade repairs, signage, and building services at mid-rise heights.
• Energy and Utilities: Substations, utility yards, and field construction where diesel power and 4WD are essential.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used JLG 460SJ provides compelling total cost of ownership advantages. JLG’s reputation for robust design means the steel, turntable, and boom systems have a long service life when properly maintained. With Deutz diesel power, you gain an engine platform that is widely supported and known for longevity, making routine maintenance straightforward. Consumables and wear components are readily available, and the popularity of this model helps ensure strong parts and service coverage. Compared to new equipment pricing, a used 2015 straight boom lift at this value point lets you control capital expenditure, accelerate ROI, and maintain the flexibility to scale your fleet with changing project demands.

Why This 460SJ

This particular 2015 JLG 460SJ stands out by combining the most sought-after features into a single work-ready package: 4WD, an Oscillating Axle, Rough Terrain Tires, a Jib for fine positioning, and a spacious 8' w/Side Entry Platform. Its 46' Platform height and 52' Working Height hit the sweet spot for a broad range of jobs without the higher ownership costs of larger lifts. The 3,250-hour meter reading reflects practical use while leaving ample service life for future projects, and the $28,500 price represents strong value for contractors seeking dependable reach without overextending their budget.
