JLG introduces new electric articulating boom lift
The company showcased the EC600AJ 60-foot boom lift at World of Concrete 2025
JLG Industries showcased its 60-foot EC600AJ boom lift at World of Concrete 2025. Featuring an unrestricted platform capacity of 550 pounds and a restricted capacity of 750 pounds, this new articulating model will expand the JLG electric construction (EC) portfolio in North America.
Capabilities of the electric articulating boom lift
The EC600AJ electric articulating boom design provides up-and-over capability with 27 feet 1 inch of height, helping machine operators navigate varied obstacles while maintaining positioning control.
This model's articulated design allows for multiple positioning configurations. The 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 in confined spaces.
This flexibility, combined with a platform height of 60 feet and a horizontal outreach of 36 feet, makes the EC600AJ useful for applications like facility maintenance, construction, and renovation projects.
The EC600AJ is powered by two 10.7kWh lithium-ion batteries, delivering efficient and environmentally friendly operation, and boasts 4WD AC drive motors for terrain capability. Featuring enhanced manoeuvrability with both 2WS and 4WS options, this machine offers 40 percent gradeability with a 5-degree tilt cut-out.
Additional 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, which can assist in reducing transportation costs and logistics complexity. This new model has also been redesigned with an internal power track and hybrid hood design, enabling durability while maintaining access to key components for servicing.
Focusing on the job sites of tomorrow
"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," says Angela Patterson, product management specialist lead at 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. 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."
