JLG Industries, an Oshkosh Corporation business and a global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers, debuted its 60-foot EC600AJ electric boom lift at World of Concrete last week in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This new articulating model expands the JLG electric construction portfolio in North America. It features an unrestricted platform capacity of 550 pounds and a restricted capacity of 750 pounds.

"We've focused on making the EC600AJ both powerful and practical, part of a new generation of JLG boom lifts designed with job sites of tomorrow in mind," said Angela Patterson, product management specialist lead, JLG. "This model demonstrates our ongoing commitment to electrification while meeting the rugged demands of a construction environment, with performance capabilities similar to those of its diesel counterparts.”

Production for the new JLG EC600AJ boom lift starts in the Summer of 2025. 

More Than 27 Feet of Up-and-Over Reach

The EC600AJ articulating boom design provides what JLG called superior up-and-over capability with 27-feet-1-inch of up-and-over height, allowing machine operators to navigate complex architectural features and obstacles while maintaining precise positioning control. 

For example, this model’s articulated design allows for multiple positioning configurations. 

This articulating boom lift's versatility is further enhanced by its 130-degree jib articulation range (+70, -60 degrees) and 400-degree non-continuous swing, enabling operators to position the platform precisely in confined spaces or around obstacles. 

JLG said flexibility, combined with a platform height of 60 feet and horizontal outreach of 36 feet, makes the EC600AJ suitable for applications like facility maintenance, construction, and renovation projects.

“The EC600AJ's articulating design provides the versatility and precise positioning capabilities that modern construction and maintenance operations demand, all while delivering the environmental benefits and lower total cost of ownership of an electric platform,” Patterson added.

Powered By Dual 10.7kWh Batteries

The EC600AJ is powered by two 10.7kWh lithium-ion batteries for efficient and environmentally friendly operation and boasts 4WD AC drive motors for enhanced terrain capability. 

Featuring enhanced maneuverability with both 2WS and 4WS options, this machine offers 40% gradeability with a 5-degree tilt cut-out, providing the power to tackle challenging terrain while complying with industry safety standards. Additional key features of the EC600AJ include:

• Tight turning radius of 4 feet 11 inches in 4WS mode

• Non-marking, non-directional rough terrain foam-filled tires as standard

• Advanced control system

With improved transportability through a shorter stowed length and compact design, contractors can fit two EC600AJ units onto one trailer. This new model has also been redesigned with an internal power track and hybrid hood design, enhancing durability while maintaining efficient access to key components for servicing.
