46ft JLG 460SJ DIESEL STRAIGHT BOOM

The JLG 460SJ is a diesel-powered telescopic straight boom lift with a platform height of 14 m (46 ft) and a working height of 16 m (52 ft). It delivers 12 m (39 ft) of horizontal outreach and carries up to 272 kg, making it well suited to construction, infrastructure maintenance, steel erection, and industrial access tasks where both reach and height are required simultaneously. The Deutz D2.9L4 Tier 4 Final diesel engine provides reliable power for outdoor and rough-terrain conditions.

What distinguishes the 460SJ from smaller telescopic booms is its combination of straight-boom horizontal reach and a 1.83 m hydraulic jib with 130 degrees of articulation. This jib allows operators to position the platform around obstructions or angle into tight spaces at height — a practical advantage on cluttered construction sites and bridge or building facade work where a purely straight approach is not always possible. A 180-degree hydraulic platform rotator and 360-degree continuous turntable rotation add further positioning flexibility. The 45% gradeability and foam-filled tyres make it capable on uneven or sloped ground typical of active construction zones.

In the Geelong region, the 460SJ is regularly hired for commercial building construction, industrial plant maintenance, civil infrastructure work, and large-scale outdoor events requiring elevated access at heights beyond the range of mid-size scissor lifts or smaller articulating booms.
