The JLG 520AJ HC3 is an advanced articulating boom lift that combines exceptional reach with industry-leading platform capacity. Designed for demanding construction, industrial maintenance, steel erection, and infrastructure projects, the HC3 (High Capacity 3-Zone) system allows operators to work more efficiently by carrying heavier loads without compromising safety.
Featuring a maximum working height of 18 metres and up to 10 metres of horizontal outreach, the 520AJ HC3 provides excellent up-and-over access for reaching difficult work areas. Its innovative three-capacity-zone design offers platform capacities of up to 454 kg in restricted working zones and 300 kg in unrestricted operation, allowing multiple operators to work with additional tools and materials while remaining within safe operating limits.
Powered by a reliable diesel engine and equipped with four-wheel drive, oscillating axle, and 45% gradeability, the 520AJ HC3 is built to tackle rough terrain with confidence. Faster lift speeds—up to 50% quicker than previous models—help reduce cycle times and increase productivity on busy job sites.
Whether used for structural steel installation, plant maintenance, mechanical and electrical work, or commercial construction, the JLG 520AJ HC3 delivers the performance, versatility, and reliability professionals expect from JLG equipment.
