45ft JLG 450AJ DIESEL KNUCKLE BOOM

The JLG 450AJ is a diesel-powered articulating knuckle boom lift delivering a 15.72 m (51 ft) working height and a platform height of 13.72 m (45 ft). With a horizontal outreach of 7.62 m (25 ft) and a 250 kg platform capacity, it handles two operators with tools and materials. Diesel power and rough terrain tyres make it purpose-built for outdoor work on uneven or unprepared ground.

What sets the 450AJ apart from straight boom options at this height class is its articulating knuckle joint, which allows the upper boom to fold up and over obstructions before extending outward. An up-and-over clearance height of roughly 7.3 m means operators can reach over parapet walls, structural steel, and roofline projections that would block a telescopic machine. The 355° continuous turntable rotation and 45% gradeability further extend its usefulness on sites where access is constrained or ground conditions vary across the job.

In the Geelong region the 450AJ is a regular choice for commercial construction, steel fabrication facilities, bridge maintenance along the Barwon River corridor, and civil contractors working on large-footprint sites around the Geelong Ring Road and industrial precincts in Corio and Lara.
