WORK AT HEIGHT
The most common work-at-height conundrum is
still how to safely and efficiently access work-
ing areas over obstacles and barriers, but even
more so when extended vertical reach and horizontal
outreach are of utmost significance. These are some
of the concerns that informed the design of JLG’s
REACHING NEW HEIGHTS
The new JLG 1500AJP – said to be the tallest
and furthest reaching articulating boom lift in
the world – is now available in Africa for the
first time following its recent launch by the
Eazi Group, and will offer new work-at-height
capabilities in applications where massive
height, reach and power over obstacles and
barriers are of priority, writes Munesu Shoko.
Hydraulically-powered
pivoting axles that expand
quickly for fast setup time
The new JLG 1500AJP features an industry-leading
work envelope – offering platform capacity of
270 kg unrestricted and 450 kg restricted – allowing
it to take more materials to heights than any other
articulating boom lift on the market.
