50' Crawler Boom Description
The JLG 50' crawler boom is an aerial workplatform designed to be used in a variety of indoor AND outdoor appplications, including construction, maintenance, and tree trimming to name a few. The crawler boom has a reach capacity of up to 50 feet, and a horizontal reach of up to 29 feet. The platform on the 50' crawler boom has a capacity of 500 pounds, making it suitable to carry workers and materials.
Powered by a diesel engine, it provides the necessary power and torque to operatore the boom and crawler tracks. The tracks provide the machine the ability to move across a variety of surfaces, including rough terrains and slopes, making it a great piece of equipment for outdoor environments.
Safety features on this crawler boom include outriggers to provide stability and an automatic leveling system that keeps the platform level, even on uneven ground.

50 Ft Crawler Boom Lift Questions
A 50-foot crawler boom lift generally has a maximum vertical reach of around 50 feet, but the horizontal reach (how far it can extend outward from its base) is typically less. For a 50-foot boom lift, the horizontal reach is usually between 20 to 30 feet, depending on the specific model and manufacturer.
The weight capacity of a 50 foot crawler boom lift typically ranges from 500 to 700 pounds.
Yes, a 50-foot crawler boom lift can be used indoors, but there are a few considerations to ensure it's suitable and safe for the environment. Weight and Floor Load Capacity: Check the floor's load-bearing capacity. Some crawler lifts are heavy, and indoor flooring must be able to support the equipment without damage. Power Source: Many crawler lifts come with electric or hybrid power options, which are more suitable indoors as they don't emit fumes like gas or diesel models. Ensure your lift has a non-combustion power option to avoid air quality issues. Height and Clearance: Measure indoor height clearances, including ceiling beams, light fixtures, and HVAC systems, to ensure there's enough vertical space for the lift to extend fully and safely.
Diesel Engine: Many larger crawler boom lifts use diesel engines to provide high power and endurance, especially for outdoor, rough terrain use. Diesel power is ideal for job sites without access to electric power.
Yes, operators must have training and certification in accordance with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations.
A 50-foot crawler boom lift typically weighs between 11,000 and 15,000 pounds.
Standard safety features include an emergency stop button, fall protection lanyard attachment points, and platform controls with safety interlocks.
Crawler 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.
Crawler boom lifts generally move slowly for safety reasons, with travel speeds around 1-3 mph on the ground.
Using a 50-foot crawler boom lift in windy conditions can be risky. The manufacturer's guidelines usually specify a maximum wind speed for safe operation, often around 28 mph.
A crawler boom lift uses tracks for movement and is ideal for rough terrain, while an articulated boom lift has jointed arms for maneuvering around obstacles.
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.
