Haulotte Boom Lifts: What TX, TPX and TJ Actually Mean
Models like the H14 TX, H16 TPX or H28 TJ carry an "H" for telescopic boom lift, a number, and a suffix. Comparing the manufacturer's own datasheets shows the H14 TX reaches a working height of 14.07 m and the H16 TPX 15.44 m — so the number roughly tracks working height in metres.

The key difference between TX and TPX sits in the boom tip: per the datasheet, the H16 TPX adds a pivoting jib with ±70° of vertical movement that the H14 TX simply doesn't have. Models carrying a "J" in the name, like the H28 TJ, likewise carry such a jib for fine basket positioning. Articulating models marked "HA", such as the HA16X, use a knuckle boom instead of pure telescoping.
Platform capacity stays constant across the category: both recorded values in the SpecCodex data sit at 230 kg, matching the manufacturer's own figure for the H14 TX/H16 TPX line.
When buying used, check the jib joint's condition, hydraulic hoses running inside the telescoping sections, the 4WD and differential-lock function, and hours on the clock. Since recorded weight spans from 645 kg to 23.9 tonnes, always confirm the exact model before ordering parts.
In short: the number is a rough working height, while TX/TPX/TJ describe the boom tip and terrain equipment.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
