JLG releases X33J plus compact crawler boom
JLG Industries’ boom lift line-up has grown once more, with the recent launch of the X33J Plus Compact Crawler Boom (CCB).
The release brings JLG’s CCB line-up to five and provides an entry into the 30m height class.
Along with bolstering the choice for JLG’s CCB customers, the new X33J Plus offers a market-leading work envelope including 17.20m up-and-over height and 16.5 m of horizontal working outreach. The machine also provides below-grade capabilities, making it suitable for both above and below level work.
A further benefit of the X33J Plus is its class-leading 230kg unrestricted platform capacity, allowing operators to bring additional materials to the work area and leading to a more productive work environment.
While the JLG® X33J Plus CCB is big on features, its compact footprint also makes it extremely versatile and functional. At less than 5.80m long and under 1.20m wide when the platform is removed, the new model is highly manoeuvrable and will even fit through double doorways, for hassle-free movement between outdoor and indoor work zones.
Disconnecting the platform is efficient via a patented system, while retractable, non-marking tracks reduces the likelihood of damage when the X33J Plus is working on sensitive surfaces.
Powering the X33J Plus is the Bi-energy package. Using a switch mounted on the control panel, the operator can select from two power sources — diesel or electric – depending on their preference or application requirements. The diesel option uses a modern T4F (Stage 5) Kubota D902 engine which produces 16.1kW (21.6cHP), while electric power comes courtesy of a 100Ah / 83V Lithium-ion electric engine.
JLG Industries Product & Marketing Manager — ANZ, Arron Cooper, said the latest addition to the JLG line-up further strengthened the company’s product offering, allowing the company to cover even more markets.
“The revolutionary X33J Plus demonstrates JLG’s continued commitment to delivering a wider range of high-quality access equipment possible to the industry,” Arron said.
“This recent addition to our CCB range allows operators to reach the greater heights they require, while giving them the increased machine flexibility to comfortably navigate around jobsites.
“We believe the X33J Plus will be well received by operators who regularly work on jobs with tough, hard-to-reach indoor and outdoor access requirements, including atriums, gymnasiums, arenas, auditoriums, airports, schools and universities, as well as local council, state, federal and military facilities.
“The X33J Plus’ versatility and ease of mobility also makes it ideal for hotels and convention centre settings and for use by window washers, painters, maintenance professionals, electricians, tree trimmers and others.”
