80' Knuckle Boom Description
The JLG 80' knuckle boom is a high-reach articulating boom designed for construction, industrial, and maintenance job site tasks. With a maximum platform height of 80 feet and a horizontal outreach of up to 56 feet, this knuckle boom has the ability to reach over and around obscacles, making it perfect for tasks such as building maintenance, bridge construction, and stadium lighting installation. It has a dual-axis articulating jib giving it precise position of the platformo at various heights and angles.
This knuckle boom features a 4-wheel drive system, providing excellent traction on uneven surfaces, and also can easily navigate rough terrain. The boom has a powerful diesel engine delivering reliable performance.
Because of it's ability to reach great heights, the safety features on the JLG 80' knuckle boom include a fall arrest system, an automatic platform leveling system, and a control system that prevents the boom from operating outside of its safe operating range. There are sensors and alarms that alert operators of potential hazards including low fuel or hydrualic oil levels.

80 foot Knuckle Boom Lift Questions
The working height is typically around 80 to 85 feet, because manufacturers usually add about 6-7 feet to account for the operator's standing height. The horizontal reach (how far it extends outwards) is usually between 20 to 23 feet, depending on the specific model.
The weight capacity of a 80 ft knuckle boom lift typically ranges from 500 to 1000 pounds.
Yes, a 80 ft gas-powered knuckle boom lift can be used indoors, but there are some important considerations. Ventilation: Gas engines produce emissions, so you'll need proper ventilation to prevent the buildup of carbon monoxide and other harmful gases indoors.
The 80 ft gas knuckle boom is powered by diesel.
A 80 ft gas-powered knuckle boom lift typically weighs between 12,000 and 16,000 pounds.
Standard safety features include an emergency stop button, fall protection lanyard attachment points, and platform controls with safety interlocks.
Knuckle boom lifts are designed for rough terrain and can operate on uneven surfaces, but this depends on the specific tires and drive systems of the model.
Knuckle boom lifts generally move slowly for safety reasons, with travel speeds around 3-5 mph on the ground.
Most manufacturers recommend not operating boom lifts in winds exceeding 20-25 mph for safety reasons.
A straight boom lift has a single, extendable arm that moves in a straight line, while an articulated boom lift has multiple sections that can bend or pivot, allowing for more versatile movement.
3 Key Benefits
Extended Reach for High and Remote Locations
The primary advantage of a straight boom lift is its reach. Unlike articulated boom lifts, which have multiple joints, a straight boom lift extends in a straight line, giving it the ability to reach heights ranging from 40 to 180 feet. This feature makes these machines perfect for projects that require access to tall structures, such as high-rise buildings, bridges, or telecommunications towers.
With a telescopic boom lift, you can work directly over obstacles without needing to reposition the equipment frequently. This capability is invaluable in construction, maintenance, or tree trimming, where efficiency and precision are essential.
Stability and Precision
One of the main concerns when working at significant heights is stability. Straight boom lifts are designed with this in mind, providing a solid, stable platform even at full extension. The telescopic design makes sure that the platform remains steady, allowing workers to focus on their tasks without worrying about swaying or instability.
Along with stability, straight boom lifts offer perfect positioning. Since the boom extends in a straight line, operators can easily maneuver to the exact height and position required for the job. This precision is especially useful in industries like window washing, electrical installations, or large-scale painting projects, where a steady hand is vital.
Increased Load Capacity
Many straight boom lifts are designed to handle heavier loads, accommodating multiple workers, tools, and equipment at the same time. This makes them a great choice for projects that require more than one operator or involve heavy-duty equipment. By increasing the lift's load capacity, you can reduce downtime and improve overall efficiency, since trips are needed to transport workers and materials to the elevated area.
As an example, in a construction setting, a straight boom lift allows workers to bring necessary tools and supplies to the work area without making multiple ascents, saving time and reducing the physical strain on workers.
