Advantages of This Configuration

Serious buyers look for a straight boom lift that can keep crews moving while holding operating costs in check. Each feature on this JLG 400S contributes to that goal.

• Deutz Diesel Power: Known for durability, fuel efficiency, and dependable cold starts, the Deutz diesel provides the torque needed for steady boom operation and reliable performance in tough conditions. For contractors, that translates into less downtime and predictable maintenance planning.
• 4WD Traction: True four-wheel drive improves mobility on uneven, muddy, or sloped jobsites. Operators can position more confidently and spend less time jockeying the machine, which increases productive time at height.
• Foam Filled Rough Terrain Tires: Foam filled tires minimize flat-related downtime and give a more stable feel on rough surfaces than air-filled tires. They are ideal for active construction sites with debris, fasteners, and sharp aggregate.
• 8' w/Side Entry Platform: The wider 8-foot platform provides extra elbow room for two workers plus materials, helping crews stage tools, fixtures, or conduit without feeling crowded. Side entry simplifies access when the lift is positioned close to a structure, improving workflow and safety.
• SkyPower: Bringing power to the platform reduces the need for long extension cords and separate generators on the ground. With power at height, crews can run tools and equipment directly from the basket, cutting setup time and keeping attention focused on the task.
• Platform Height 40 ft: A 40-foot platform height hits a productivity sweet spot for many trades—high enough for commercial exteriors, mezzanines, roofline access, signage, and MEP rough-in work, without the footprint and transport needs of larger booms.
• JLG S-Series Simplicity: The 400S design is known for straightforward controls and service access, making training and daily checks more efficient. In practice, that helps keep schedules on track and simplifies fleet integration.

Applications

With its 40 ft platform height, diesel Deutz engine, 4WD, foam filled rough terrain tires, and SkyPower, this JLG 400S Straight Boom Lift is a versatile fit across multiple industries:

• General Construction: Exterior finish work, steel erection, structural connections, and punch-list tasks at elevation.
• Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing: Running conduit, setting hangers, routing ductwork, and installing rooftop units.
• Industrial Facilities: Plant maintenance, line changeovers, equipment access, and overhead lighting or piping work.
• Utilities and Infrastructure: Bridge maintenance, utility runs, signal and sign installs, and municipal facility upkeep.
• Commercial Exteriors: Facade repairs, EIFS, painting, pressure washing, signage, and canopy work.
• Stadiums and Arenas: Lighting, sound, and rigging access where straight-line boom positioning is preferred.

Ownership Value

Owning the right used straight boom lift can significantly lower your cost per hour on site. Several aspects of this 2016 JLG 400S contribute to a strong ownership experience:

• Deutz Diesel Efficiency: Deutz engines are widely respected for durability and serviceability, with good parts availability and a strong reputation in off-road equipment.
• Fewer Tire-Related Delays: Foam filled rough terrain tires reduce the risk of flats, which can otherwise halt a job and consume man-hours.
• Productive Platform Space: The 8' w/Side Entry Platform enhances ergonomics and staging, which can reduce cycle time on repetitive tasks.
• Power at the Basket: SkyPower helps crews run electric tools at height without separate power logistics, supporting productivity on installs, fastening, drilling, and fabrication.
• Resale Confidence: Straight boom lifts from JLG hold a strong position in the used market. Properly maintained, a 400S typically retains interest from buyers across construction and industrial sectors.
