Self-leveling boom lift
The JLG 670SJ self-leveling boom lift is a 67-foot platform height model with a 550-pound unrestricted and 750-pound restricted capacity.
It offers 45 percent gradeability, a 57-foot 1-inch horizontal reach and elevates to full height or back to ground level from full height in just 101 seconds.

It automatically levels on grades up to 10 degree when in self-leveling mode. For versatility there are two additional modes, standard mode for driving with the boom down at faster speeds and shipping mode which allows the suspension to be lowered during transport.
The smart suspension on the 670SJ results in a foot more platform height, marking the introduction of a new size class for booms. JLG is the only manufacturer offering a boom in this height class and this sophisticated self-leveling boom technology.
The 670SJ self-leveling boom provides a safer and more productive solution to a number of common customer pain points on slopes up to 10° when compared to a standard boom lift, such as:
- Allows the operator to traverse uneven ground with full functionality while driving at height
- Drastically reduces or eliminates the manual labor and time required to set up cribbing and/or grade the work area
- Reduces the need for earthmoving equipment where minor grading and leveling was previously required.
- Reduces or eliminates redundant positioning to locate a level work area
- Allows the boom lift to get closer to the work area, maximizing its reach capabilities and minimizing the need for larger, higher reaching lifts as backup
- Decreases platform movement during travel; improving operator comfort and reducing the risk associated with movement of objects within and/or falling from the platform
“We believe the 670SJ self-leveling boom is a step change for the industry; a technology that will transform the way people work at height, while offering significant productivity and safety benefits,” says Milan Klimes, senior chief engineer for JLG. “When John L. Grove started the access industry in 1969, he was driven to develop a safer way to work at height. This new self-leveling boom lift is evidence that this core value is still alive and continues to fuel JLG’s passion to move the access industry forward.”
