Advantages

• Deutz Diesel: Known across the industry for durability and efficient fuel burn, Deutz diesel powerplants are a go-to choice for heavy-duty aerial equipment. For contractors, that translates into reliable starts, strong torque, and consistent performance day after day.
• 4WD Traction: True four-wheel drive helps the 860SJ traverse loose, uneven, or muddy ground with better control. When site conditions are less than ideal, 4WD helps keep your crews productive instead of stuck or waiting for ground support.
• Foam Filled Rough Terrain Tires: Foam filling dramatically reduces the risk of flats and downtime from punctures. On rugged sites where debris is common, foam filled rough terrain tires add stability, reduce maintenance interruptions, and support steadier platform performance.
• SkyPower Onboard Power: SkyPower provides built-in power at the platform, enabling operators to run tools and accessories without relying on portable generators. This can streamline tasks like drilling, lighting, or other powered work at height, improving productivity.
• Jib for Precision: The jib allows fine positioning near the work area, helping crews reach around obstacles and align tools or materials with fewer repositioning moves. Precision at height saves time and increases safety and efficiency.
• Platform Height 86 ft: With an 86-foot platform height, the 860SJ gives your team access to tall structures and elevated work zones without complicated staging. It’s a strong fit for exterior cladding, steel work, signage, industrial maintenance, and more.
• 2025 JLG Factory Recon + 3yr/3000hr Factory Warranty: OEM-backed reconditioning and warranty coverage reduce operational risk, making budgeting and planning easier. Fewer surprises, more uptime—that’s the value of buying a factory-supported machine.

Applications

• Commercial Construction: Structural work, building envelope installation, window setting, and façade maintenance where long, straight reach is essential.
• Industrial Facilities: Access for plant maintenance, conveyor or mezzanine service, pipe and duct work, and equipment changeouts.
• Infrastructure: Bridges, elevated utilities, lighting, and sign installations where stable positioning and high reach are priorities.
• Energy and Utilities: Substations, transmission line maintenance, and wind or solar site tasks requiring secure access and power at height.
• Outdoor Maintenance: Stadiums, arenas, and large venues for lighting, signage, and structural inspections on varied terrain.

Ownership Value

Contractors buy the JLG 860SJ because it consistently delivers productive time at height with predictable operating costs. The Deutz diesel engine is a proven choice for longevity and serviceability, while 4WD and foam filled rough terrain tires help ensure you can work through uneven conditions without frequent tire-related downtime. SkyPower saves setup time by eliminating the extra steps of hauling and securing separate generators, and the jib provides the precise control that helps operators finish tasks faster. Perhaps most importantly, JLG’s 2025 factory reconditioning and 3-year/3000-hour factory warranty shield your investment. That factory support simplifies maintenance planning, helps manage risk across multiple projects, and supports a stronger resale story down the road. When equipment reliability and cost predictability matter, the 860SJ provides a compelling total cost of ownership.

Why This 860SJ

Among straight boom lifts, the JLG 860SJ is widely regarded for its balance of reach, stability, and jobsite versatility. The 86-foot platform height gives you the working envelope many mid- to large-scale projects demand, while the 4WD and foam filled rough terrain tires keep you moving across challenging surfaces common on active sites. SkyPower means you have power where you need it—at the platform—improving setup and execution for tool-driven tasks. The addition of a jib gives operators the finesse to align with work surfaces quickly, reducing repositioning and cycle times. Pair all that with 2025 JLG factory recon and a 3-year/3000-hour factory warranty, and you have a machine that blends high performance with lower risk—ideal for fleet managers who need uptime and measurable ROI.
