52ft Diesel Knuckle Boom

Cat Class:
310-0335

Product description

The 52ft Diesel Knuckle Boom fills the gap between the 45ft and 60ft machines, with 16 metres of platform height and 7.3 metres of up-and-over clearance. The JLG 520AJ stocked in this size is a well-known commercial-site workhorse, with 4WD rough terrain drive, an on-board generator for tool power at height, and a chassis tight enough to work around plant and parked vehicles. Used on multi-storey construction, plant maintenance, industrial steel and infrastructure jobs where a 45ft is short and a 60ft won't fit. United Rentals supplies these machines maintained to Australian Standards, with delivery to your site. Also known as an articulated boom lift, it bends at multiple points to reach up and over obstacles. Make, model and specifications may vary. Stocked models include but are not limited to those pictured.
  • 16m platform height (approximately 18m working height)

  • 4WD rough terrain drive
  • On-board generator delivers 240V to the basket
  • 250kg platform capacity, operator plus tools and materials

Product Features

The 52ft Diesel Knuckle Boom gives operators a working envelope that reaches over three-storey edge protection or around plant in the way. 4WD with rough-terrain tyres handles the site as-found, the on-board generator gives 240V at the basket for power tools, and continuous 355-degree non-continuous turntable rotation lets the operator reposition the basket without driving the chassis. The JLG 520AJ stocked in this size is a Cat-Class staple across commercial construction and industrial maintenance.
