46' Boom Lift Description
Primarily used in construction, industrial, and other industries that require workers to access levels of height, the JLG 46' boom lift is designed to provide a safe and quick way to reach heights of up to 46 feet.
The JLG 46' boom lift features a telescoping boom with the ability to extend both horizontally and vertically, providing workers the ability to reach both heights and angles. The rotating platform allows the operator to turn and maneuver the lift into perfect position for the needed task at hand. Typically powered by a diesel engine, there is also a model with an electric engine, both providing reliable performance.
A key advantage of the JLG 46' boom lift is its safety features. The safety features include an automatic leveling system and multiple harness attachment points. The base of the machine is sturdy and provides stability while workers perform their tasks.

46 foot Boom Lift Questions
The maximum horizontal reach of a 46 ft straight boom lift typically ranges between 36 to 40 feet.
A 40-60 ft straight boom lift typically has a weight capacity in the range of 500 to 1,000 lbs, depending on the model and manufacturer. Most common straight boom lifts in this height range are designed to carry 750 lbs on average, but some can hold more or less.
Some are electric-powered for indoor use, while others are diesel-powered and more suitable for outdoor applications.
There are typically two types of power options: electric or diesel. Electric models are quieter and better suited for indoor use, while diesel models are designed for rugged, outdoor environments.
There are typically two types of power options: electric or diesel. Electric models are quieter and better suited for indoor use, while diesel models are designed for rugged, outdoor environments.
A 46-foot straight 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.
Straight 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.
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 fewer 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.
