JLG T500J – specifications

The JLG T500J is an aerial work platform from the JLG Boom Lift series, classified as a boom lift or aerial work platform. This model belongs to the category of mobile elevating work platforms and is designed for the safe access to elevated work positions. The construction includes a telescopic boom optimized for horizontal reach. The vehicle features pneumatic tires in the size 225/75 R15, indicating a design intended for paved surfaces. The onboard voltage is 24 V, supplied by four batteries with a capacity of 220 Ah each. This electrical supply enables emission-free operation indoors as well as driving and hydraulic functions.

The platform capacity is 227 kg, allowing for the transport of one operator along with tools and small materials. The empty weight of 2,177.2 kg determines the requirements for transport and stability on the ground. A ground clearance of 33 mm limits use to very smooth surfaces to prevent chassis damage. The hydraulic oil volume of 22.7 l supplies the lifting and boom mechanisms. The overall length of 8,350 mm and the width of 1,740 mm define the space requirements in the work area and during maneuvering. These dimensions are relevant for use indoors and on paved outdoor surfaces where precise maneuvering is required.

Within the JLG Boom Lift series, the T500J ranks 63rd out of 64 models with specified empty weights. The next smaller model is the T350 with an empty weight of 1,542.2 kg. The next larger model is the E18MJ with 2,700 kg. The range of the series spans from 1,542.2 to 27,351.6 kg. This classification shows that the T500J belongs to the lighter variants of the series, although it is significantly heavier than the smallest units. Its position at the lower end of the weight scale correlates with the compact dimensions and limited capacity, which are designed for specific applications in accessible environments.
