New JLG® 60-FT EC articulating boom lift on display at World of Concrete
The latest addition to JLG’s North American electric construction product lineup
JLG Industries, Inc., has announced its 60-ft EC600AJ boom lift at World of Concrete, January 21-23 in Las Vegas, NV (Booth #O31941). Boasting an unrestricted platform capacity of 550 lb and a restricted capacity of 750 lb, this new articulating model will expand North America’s JLG® electric construction (EC) portfolio.
The EC600AJ articulating boom design provides superior up-and-over capability with 27-ft 1-in 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. This flexibility, combined with a platform height of 60 feet and horizontal outreach of 36 feet, makes the EC600AJ ideal for applications like facility maintenance, construction, and renovation projects.

“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, 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.”
The EC600AJ is powered by two 10.7kWh lithium-ion batteries, delivering 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 ft 11-in 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, significantly reducing transportation costs and logistics complexity. 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.
