This JLG 860SJ straight boom lift offers a rare combination of ultra-low hours, factory-backed reliability, and a feature set built for serious production work. NLEQ# 147030 is a 2014 core machine that underwent a 2025 JLG Factory Recon, now showing just 8 hours since reconditioning and backed by a 3 Year/3000hr Warranty. Equipped with a Deutz diesel powerplant, 4WD, foam-filled rough terrain tires, an 8' platform, SkyPower, and a jib, this 860SJ is ready to deliver dependable reach and precision on demanding jobsites. Offered at $139,500.00, it’s a compelling alternative to new without compromising performance, safety, or uptime.

Overview

The JLG 860SJ is a proven straight boom lift designed for efficient, confident work at height. The “86” designation places it in JLG’s high-reach class, and the telescopic boom design delivers fast, direct positioning where you need it most. This unit’s 2025 JLG Factory Recon was performed on a 2014 core, giving you the best of both worlds: a machine that has been brought back to a high standard by the OEM with the assurance of a 3-year/3000-hour factory warranty, plus the value advantage of a reconditioned platform. With 8 hours showing, it’s essentially fresh from the recon process. Key productivity features include SkyPower for on-platform electricity, a jib for precise positioning, an 8' platform for extra working room, 4WD for traction, and foam-filled rough terrain tires for durability.

Condition

This machine is a 2014 core that completed a 2025 JLG Factory Recon and currently shows just 8 hours, indicating minimal use post-reconditioning. A genuine factory recon is more than cosmetic; it’s a comprehensive OEM-guided process aimed at restoring performance, reliability, and safety to a high standard. The presence of a 3-year/3000-hour warranty underscores the quality of the work and the confidence behind it. As with every unit at NLEQ, this 860SJ has been carefully tested and inspected before being offered for sale, ensuring the details presented are accurate and honest. The foam-filled rough terrain tires, 4WD, and platform features present cleanly and are configured for immediate field use. Buyers can expect a tight, confident feel in the controls, the torque and efficiency you expect from Deutz diesel power, and the straightforward operation that defines the JLG straight boom lift lineup.

Advantages

• Deutz diesel power: Known for robust torque and dependable cold starts, Deutz diesel engines are a staple in heavy-duty applications. In practice, that means steady performance under load and long service intervals to keep your crews working and your schedule on track.
• 4WD drivetrain: Four-wheel drive helps you traverse uneven, muddy, or loose ground with greater confidence. On real jobsites, that translates into more productive time at the work face and fewer delays repositioning or waiting on ground improvements.
• Foam-filled rough terrain tires: Foam-filled tires mitigate flat-related downtime and deliver a stable ride over harsh surfaces. For job-ready productivity, that’s a direct advantage—fewer tire-related interruptions and a solid, predictable platform when you’re at height.
• 8' platform: The extended platform gives crews extra elbow room and tool space. In day-to-day use, that means fewer trips up and down to shuffle materials, better ergonomics when handling larger components, and more efficient teaming when two technicians are on the platform.
• SkyPower on-board power: SkyPower provides electricity at the platform for running tools and equipment. The benefit is simple: plug-in convenience at height, reducing generator juggling on the ground and speeding up tasks like drilling, cutting, lighting, and more.
• Jib for precise positioning: The jib adds critical articulation at the platform, helping operators finesse their final approach to the work. That saves time on delicate placements, improves reach around obstructions, and reduces the need to reposition the whole machine.
• “86” model designation: The 86 designation places the 860SJ in a high-reach class within JLG’s straight boom lift lineup, making it suitable for large commercial and industrial sites where vertical access is essential.
• 2014 Core/2025 JLG Factory Recon w/ 3 Year, 3000hr Warranty!: Factory recon delivers OEM-level attention with the backing that matters in the field. The warranty coverage offers meaningful protection and speaks to the confidence behind the process.
• 8 hours since recon: With only 8 hours, this unit is essentially fresh, offering a long runway of productive service life and a like-new operating experience without the new-equipment price.
• JLG build quality: JLG is a leading name in aerial work platforms; their straight boom lifts are respected for intuitive controls, stable geometry, and a service network familiar to rental fleets and contractors alike.

Applications

The JLG 860SJ straight boom lift is a natural fit across commercial construction, industrial maintenance, and infrastructure projects where reliable high-reach access is essential. Typical uses include exterior building work, steel erection support, roofline and facade access, tilt-up and precast installation assistance, HVAC and mechanical install at elevation, structural inspections, lighting and signage placement, and general facility maintenance on tall structures. The 4WD capability and foam-filled rough terrain tires make it practical on unimproved surfaces or mixed ground conditions commonly found on active jobsites. The 8' platform adds value when crews need room to stage parts and tools, and SkyPower allows plug-in operation of equipment at height—ideal for tasks requiring power without multiple trips to the ground. With its jib for precise placement and the “86” class reach profile, the 860SJ is engineered to help crews work efficiently where ladders and scaffolding are impractical.

Ownership Value

Choosing this 860SJ is about controlling total cost of ownership while maintaining high reliability. The 2025 JLG Factory Recon on a 2014 core means major systems have been addressed by the OEM and validated through a 3-year/3000-hour warranty—coverage that’s rare in the used market. The Deutz diesel provides an established pathway for service and parts, and foam-filled tires help reduce downtime associated with punctures. The feature set—4WD, SkyPower, jib, and an 8' platform—directly supports productivity so the lift spends more time generating value and less time waiting on workarounds. For owners balancing budget, uptime, and operator satisfaction, this unit aligns performance with prudent capital spend.

The “86” model designation places it squarely in the high-reach category contractors depend on for large commercial and industrial projects.
