The LGMG AR16J is a diesel-powered articulating boom lift delivering a working height of 17.7 m (58 ft) and a platform height of 15.7 m (51 ft), with a 230 kg platform capacity and a horizontal outreach of 9.39 m (30 ft 10 in). Its articulating boom design — with a knuckle joint between the lower and upper boom sections — allows operators to reach up and over obstacles such as parapet walls, structural steel, and rooftop plant equipment, making it well suited to construction, steel erection, civil infrastructure, and industrial maintenance applications.
What sets the AR16J apart from smaller articulating models is the combination of genuine rough-terrain capability and a tight footprint for its class. The foam-filled RT tyres and 45% gradeability rating mean it handles uneven ground, gravel surfaces, and construction site gradients without the instability issues common on larger machines. The 355-degree turntable rotation and a tight inside turning radius of 1.94 m give operators good manoeuvrability in confined or cluttered sites. Power options include a Deutz D2.9L4 or Kubota V2403 diesel engine — both proven units with strong parts availability in Australia — and the 65 L fuel tank supports extended shifts without refuelling.
In the Geelong region, this machine is regularly used on industrial facility maintenance, commercial construction frames, and large infrastructure projects across the Geelong port precinct, Lara industrial estates, and surrounding development corridors where both height and outreach are needed on rough or unprepared ground.
