Choose the 450AJ if...
The JLG 450AJ is a mid-size diesel articulating boom lift used across UK construction, industrial and outdoor maintenance sites where working height above 15 m and rough-terrain capability are both needed. It is one of the most commonly hired boom lifts of its size class in the UK, stocked alongside comparable Haulotte and Genie models by national access hire companies. Its jib articulation lets operators reach up and over obstacles rather than just straight out, which is valuable on cluttered industrial sites.
Full specifications →Choose the HR15 4x4 if...
A British-built boom lift favoured by hire fleets for its narrow 2m width and tight turning circle, which let it reach working heights that normally require a much larger machine on a more constrained site. The flexible boom design allows working up and over obstacles.
Sold as HR15N, HR15E and HR15 4x4 with different drive and power configurations. The figures above are the 4x4.
