Overview

As a proven performer in the 60–70 foot class, the JLG 660SJ Straight Boom Lift is built for productivity and straightforward operation. The 66' platform height provides confident vertical access for elevated work, while the 72' working height gives crews the overhead clearance typically required for steel erection, cladding, mechanical installs, and exterior maintenance. The telescopic boom design helps operators approach high targets directly, minimizing repositioning and saving time. The combination of Deutz diesel power, true 4WD, and foam filled rough terrain tires provides traction and stability on unprepared surfaces, and the on-board SkyPower and articulating Jib add utility at the platform for tool power and precise positioning.

Condition

This used 2017 JLG 660SJ has 3,580 hours and has been thoroughly tested and inspected by NLEQ technicians prior to listing. Function checks confirm that primary systems operate as intended at the time of inspection, including drive, steer, boom extend/retract, lift/lower, swing, and platform controls. As a working used straight boom lift, buyers should expect normal cosmetic wear consistent with year and hours—paint touch-ups, decals, and standard signs of use—without compromising safety or performance. We present accurate, honest details so you can buy with confidence from a trusted source.

Advantages and Key Features

• Deutz Diesel: Deutz is known for durable, fuel-efficient diesel engines that start reliably and perform consistently in tough conditions. That means simpler day-to-day operation, dependable torque for boom functions, and a reputation for longevity that supports long-term ownership value.
• 4WD Drivetrain: Four-wheel drive enhances traction and control when you’re crossing dirt, gravel, mud, or uneven ground. Operators can position the 660SJ closer to the work with fewer delays, helping crews keep schedules on track in all seasons.
• Foam Filled Rough Terrain Tires: Foam filling virtually eliminates flats from nail or debris punctures, reducing unplanned downtime. The firm tire profile also supports stability on jobsite surfaces while maintaining rough-terrain capability for travel and setup.
• SkyPower: The integrated SkyPower system provides on-board power run to the platform, allowing crews to plug in approved electric tools and accessories where the work is. This simplifies setup, reduces generator clutter on the ground, and helps teams be more productive at height.
• Jib: The factory Jib adds articulation at the platform end of the boom, making it easier to fine-tune approach angles, work around obstructions, and place the basket exactly where it’s needed. That extra articulation speeds precise tasks like bolt-up, glazing, or conduit routing.
• 66' Platform Height / 72' Working Height: With 66 feet of platform height and 72 feet of working height, the 660SJ reaches typical three- to six-story elevations found on commercial construction, plant maintenance, and infrastructure projects. This range fits a wide variety of trade applications without overbuying into a higher class.

Applications

• Commercial Construction and Steel Erection: Access roof edges, parapets, fascia, column lines, and elevated structural connections with a telescopic approach that reduces repositioning and improves productivity.
• Building Envelope and Glazing: Reach for panel installs, curtainwall, exterior caulking, and façade repairs where consistent horizontal outreach and precise basket placement add real value.
• Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Trades: Power tools at the platform with SkyPower to perform overhead conduit runs, duct supports, hangers, and lighting work without separate on-ground generators.
• Industrial Facilities and Maintenance: Service equipment, piping, and catwalks in plants, mills, warehouses, and distribution centers where reliable reach and stable footing are essential.
• Utilities and Infrastructure: Tackle bridges, substations, signage, and elevated utilities where a 66' platform height offers sufficient access for inspection and repair.
• Property Management and Exterior Services: Execute painting, pressure washing, signage work, and façade maintenance with the maneuverability and reach required for efficient task completion.

Ownership Value

Buying a used JLG 660SJ from a reputable seller like NLEQ offers a compelling total cost of ownership compared to new. You benefit from a lower acquisition cost while retaining the robust build quality and parts support associated with the JLG brand. The Deutz diesel is widely respected in the field, aiding serviceability and long-term uptime. Foam filled rough terrain tires reduce the risk of jobsite flats and emergency service calls, and 4WD keeps the lift workable on a broader range of surfaces, which helps maximize utilization across projects. The inclusion of a Jib and SkyPower increases versatility so one machine can handle more task types. For owners and fleet managers, this translates to fewer rentals, less machine swapping, and higher return on investment.

Why This 660SJ Stands Out

This particular 2017 JLG 660SJ aligns the most sought-after features in the class—Deutz diesel power, 4WD, foam filled rough terrain tires, a factory Jib, and SkyPower—around a practical 66' platform height. At 3,580 hours, it presents a work-ready profile for contractors who need a dependable straight boom lift without the premium of a new unit. The straightforward controls, rugged JLG build, and thoughtful configuration make it an excellent choice for general contractors, steel and envelope trades, industrial maintenance teams, and rental houses looking to expand their fleet with proven equipment.
