2026 JLG 1850SJ 

Dominate the job site with JLG® Ultra Series telescopic boom lifts. When you're working twelve stories high or more, you want a telescopic boom lift that's built to perform, and that's exactly what you get with the Ultra Series.

These telescoping lifts were designed for rugged job sites like steel mills, chemical plants, airports, shipyards and heavy construction. They feature an ultra-strong steel boom, giving you the confidence and support you need to handle up to 1,000-lb (454kg) of capacity. And their exclusive controlled arc regulates speeds at the edges of the work envelope, so you feel the same velocity in all positions for enhanced comfort.

The JLG 1850SJ has more reach, better stability, and a larger work envelope than any lift in its class. You'll also get to full height much faster with axles that take about one minute to extend or retract.
