solution, the JLG 1250AJP’s boom can be
extended safely to its maximum height in
under two minutes with the unique JLG
QuickStick, which raises the tower boomand
main boom simultaneously.
Versatility on site is further achieved with
the JLG-developed JibPLUS, which enables
the platform to reach around structures by up
to 2,44m, allowingoperators toget todifficult
to reach areas safely. “The JibPLUS further
allows for more precise handling at height,
which reduces the risk of coming into con-
tact with structures, and provides more user
comfort with reduced sway when the boom
is rotated at significant height,”says Eazi Sales
& Service’s managing director, Larry Smith.
The platform offers an unrestricted capacity
of 230 kg and 450 kg – restricted at a slightly
reduced working envelope.
“These features make the JLG 1250AJP
ideal for constriction, steel erection, as well
as mining and petrochemical plants where
high-reach versatility is required for mainte-
nance projects. Its popularity is extended to
power plants, construction of large industrial
facilities, ship building and various other ap-
plications where getting the job done faster
and safer is of paramount importance, not to
mention the substantial cost savings to our
customers,”says Smith.
“Murray & Roberts is currently using sev-
eral JLG 1250AJP boom lifts, along with sev-
eral other MEWPs at the Medupi and Kusile
power plants to help workers safely brace,
position and weld steel sections into place
at height, paint and conduct procedures
previously only possible with expensive and
often cumbersome scaffolding systems,”says
Smith. “Our access solutions have forced the
industrial market to rethink what is achiev-
able when working at height.”
With such incredible platform heights,
the JLG 1250AJP is built with safety in mind.
It is designed with appropriately-weighted
counterweights, extending axles, automatic
platform levelling, and an automatic work
envelope management system which auto-
matically limits the boom to operate within
safe tolerances.
The diesel-powered platform further
comes standard with an auxiliary electric
motor, which safely lowers the platform in
the event of an emergency decent, as well
40 metres in under 2 minutes
Eazi Sales & Service has extended the capabilities of working at height
during the construction of mines and petrochemical sites across
Southern Africa with the JLG 1250AJP Ultra Series Articulating
BoomLift which features an up and over height of over 18metres
and a horizontal outreach of over 19 metres, bringing a platform
working height to over 40 metres.
as a sophisticated engine distress warning
system. “The machine comes standard with
oscillating axles, traction control, tilt alarm,
4-wheel drive, crab steer and all-wheel steer,”
says Smith.
Tailored accessories for your
application
The JLG 1250AJP can be customised for even
greater functionality and highly specific
applications by using tailor-made accessories.
TheWorkstation in the Sky® Package, ideal for
electrical work, supports battery-powered
tools while keeping them off the floor and
within easy reach. The SkyAir, SkyWelder,
SkyPower and SkyCutter packages take
compressed air, welding machines, genera-
tor power and cutters to height safely and
swiftly. The Nite Bright Package – consisting
of 40-watt lights for any low lighting require-
ments – further extends the JLG 1250AJP’s
working hours through the night.
Emissions and efficiency
“Using ADE [advance design electronics], JLG
platforms use only the energy necessary to
perform a task which reduces fuel consump-
tion as well as overall emissions. This is a
technology unique to JLG,” says Smith. JLG
access platforms comply with worldwide
emission regulations, including those of the
USA, the EU and Australia.
Rough-terrain applications
“Over 40 metre working height and rough-
terrain ability combined make the JLG
1250AJP truly unique to the local market,”
says Smith.
