Condition

Every machine NLEQ offers is thoroughly evaluated before it’s listed, and this JLG 400S is no exception. The unit has been carefully tested and inspected so that buyers receive accurate, honest, and reliable information about what they’re purchasing. With only 2,100 hours showing, the usage aligns with a well-maintained, mid-life boom lift that’s ready to go to work.

Advantages of This Configuration

• Diesel power for demanding jobs: Diesel engines are well-suited to boom lifts that spend long days climbing grades, idling between picks, and operating auxiliary hydraulics. Expect strong torque, consistent power delivery, and widespread fuel availability on jobsites.
• 4WD for traction and control: Four-wheel drive helps keep you moving on unfinished sites, gravel, and light mud. It supports confident positioning when approaching work areas, especially where ground conditions vary across the site.
• Straight boom efficiency: The 400S straight telescopic boom provides quick elevation and direct access. Compared to an articulating design, straight boom lifts often deliver faster travel from ground to height and a more straightforward approach to distant targets.
• 40-foot-class platform height: The 400S designation aligns with a 40-ft platform height class, making it a versatile choice for low- to mid-rise exterior work, mechanical installations, and facility maintenance where consistent access in the 40-ft range is required.
• JLG build quality: JLG is one of the most trusted names in aerial work platforms, supported by a strong parts network, clear documentation, and widespread technician familiarity—factors that simplify ownership and keep downtime low.

Many buyers in this class also look for terrain-friendly attributes such as rough terrain tires and oscillating axle capability for better ground contact on uneven sites. If these items are priorities for your operation, ask our team to verify how this specific 400S is outfitted and to review any available options or accessories that may complement your job requirements.
