JLG releases new X13SJ Plus Compact Crawler Boom

THE VERSATILE MACHINE IS IDEAL FOR A WIDE SELECTION OF APPLICATIONS.

JLG has expanded its range of compact crawler booms with the recent launch of the X13SJ PLUS model. It's a versatile machine with a small footprint that’s ideal for a wide selection of applications including general maintenance, arboriculture, painting, electrical and HVAC.

The compact and lightweight design coupled with exceptional gradeability provides enhanced flexibility for any application, indoors or outdoors. The X13SJ PLUS features a straight boom with a working height of 12.9 m, 6.4 m working outreach, with a two-person 230 kg unrestricted capacity.

As with the broader JLG range, the X13SJ PLUS is user focused. One touch self-levelling outriggers provide convenient operator set-up and envelope tracking operation allows the machine to follow the building for scissor-like effect. Other productivity benefits include ‘go home’ and ‘go back’ functions which allow the operator to return the machine to the fully closed position at the touch of a button, and then return it to the last saved working position by pressing another.

The machine also features non-marking tracks which can be automatically adjusted to widths of between 0.75 m and 1.10 m, to better suit the workspace or to help manoeuvre through confined job sites: Outrigger pads are also non-marking with a Teflon finish reducing the chance of floor damage in sensitive environments. The machine comes standard with the SkyGuard Skyline enhanced operator protection. Access to the platform is via the 2x slide bar rear entry system.

Powering the X13SJ PLUS is a potent 4.15 kWh – 48V Lithium battery coupled to electric AC drive motors that optimise energy consumption leading to longer run times between charging.

With a weight of only 2,050 kg, the X13SJ PLUS can be easily transported to and from the work site. Integrated forklift pods and heavy-duty lifting eyes, further assist the transportation of the machine. The model is also equipped with integrated front and rear LED lights for enhanced visibility.
