150ft JLG 1500SJ DIESEL STRAIGHT BOOM

The JLG 1500SJ is one of the tallest telescopic boom lifts available for hire, delivering a working height of 45.75 m (150 ft) and a platform height of 39.67 m (130 ft) with a 450 kg platform capacity. Powered by a diesel engine and built on a rough-terrain four-wheel-drive chassis, it is designed for large-scale construction, civil infrastructure, and industrial maintenance projects that require reaching heights simply not accessible with a mid-range boom. Horizontal outreach of approximately 24.4 m (80 ft) allows operators to work well clear of the machine's footprint, which is essential when working around facades, structures, or obstructions at height.

What sets the 1500SJ apart from shorter boom lifts in JLG's range is its combination of extreme working height and meaningful horizontal reach in a single machine. On Australian commercial and infrastructure sites — stadium works, bridge maintenance, large industrial facilities, and high-rise facade access — this eliminates the need for scaffolding or cranes for many elevated access tasks. The machine's oscillating axle and 4WD drivetrain give it the ground clearance and traction to operate on uneven or soft terrain typical of active construction sites, and the diesel powerplant ensures performance in cold weather or extended outdoor shifts without dependency on site power.

In the Geelong region, the 1500SJ suits projects at the Port of Geelong, large industrial and petrochemical facilities, stadium and sports venue maintenance, and major civil construction contracts along the Princes and Western Ring Road corridors where significant working heights are required.
