The “+” designation highlights a redesigned boom lift that delivers increased performance, productivity, serviceability and versatility for modern job sites.
Engineered with an enhanced working envelope, the new 600AJ+ model offers strong working performance with a maximum platform height of 60 feet, horizontal outreach of 38 feet and up-and-over height of 27 feet 3 inches.
The 600AJ+ was previewed as part of JLG’s showcase of next-generation boom lift innovations at CONEXPO-CON-AGG 2026.
It represents JLG’s continued commitment to designing equipment that improves productivity and enhances operator experience.
The machine features an improved boom architecture that enhances stability and provides smoother operation throughout the enhanced work envelope. It has a single-function tower boom design with no rear arm stack, reducing sway and improving speed to height.
Operators can also work more efficiently using four planned boom control modes, including:
- Go-Home
- Go-To-Height
- Planar Mode for Vertical Platform Tracking
- QuikStik
These intuitive control options allow operators to complete tasks more quickly and position the platform with greater accuracy.
In addition, the 600AJ+ integrates ClearSky Smart Fleet technology, which provides two-way data transmission, transforming traditional one-way telematics into interactive fleet connectivity.
This helps fleet managers monitor equipment performance, streamline maintenance planning and unlock new productivity insights.
To further support uptime and machine efficiency, the machine includes several service-focused improvements, including:
- Centralized fuse box to locate all fuses in one place
- Protected internal power track, with multiple service breaks, to minimize debris and UV exposure
- Improved overhead engine access with more common parts, oil and fuel filters, in front of the engine, for ease of access
- Single part number bi-directional tires to simplify parts management
- Enhanced swivel clearance and drive motors for service access
