JLG Industries, Inc. introduces its first straight-jib (SJ) compact crawler boom lift, the X660SJ with a 6-foot 7-inch platform height, 500-pound capacity for up to two workers, 39 feet of horizontal reach and offers indoor/outdoor versatility.
“The X660SJ is designed with several unique features that are key to efficiently accessing work at height,” says Angela Patterson, JLG boom lift product management lead. “For example, the architecture of this new straight-boom compact crawler boom lift enables operators to reach full height more efficiently, while it’s crawler-mounted design and 40 percent gradeability mean the X660SJ can climb slopes with ease compared to standard lifts. Its 2-foot 11-inch profile and less than 7,400-pound footprint allow operators to go more places around the job site, such as through gates and standard doorways to work in yards and public buildings.”
Other performance-enhancing features the X660SJ is equipped with include:
- Envelope tracking operation for work alongside buildings, walls and other infrastructure. With a single control function, operators can boom up/down, while also telescoping out/in so the platform travels a path perpendicular to the ground.
- Multiple position, one-touch self-leveling outriggers to provide flexibility to work in tight areas and to maximize the working envelope.
- "Go Home" and "Back to Work" functions for ease of returning to stowed or recorded work position. Software optimizes the path to the stowed or saved work position based on machine stability.
The X660SJ comes standard with a Kubota diesel engine, but an environmentally friendly lithium-ion battery and AC drive system option is available, as is JLG’s new bi-energy option. This alternative equips the JLG compact crawler boom lift with two full-sized, independent power sources, combining an emissions-free Li-ion battery pack with a dependable diesel engine, enabling operators to choose the best power source for the. The unit comes standard wth fully synthetic biodegradable hydraulic fluid so it can be used with confidence in environmentally sensitive areas.
