With a stated working height of 48.6 metres, 25.5 metres of outreach with a platform capacity of 275kg and maximum capacity of 455kg at 19.1 metres the new boom appears to have a three section telescopic riser/lower boom and three section boom, topped by an articulating jib - the same general configuration as the JLG 1500AJP. Unusually it has dual lift cylinders for the top boom. Overall weight is 26.3 tonnes.
