About Telescopic Boom Lifts

Telescopic boom lifts are very handy for jobs that require a combination of long horizontal reach, high platform height, and powerful lift capacity. A telescopic boom lift is a type of aerial lift or mobile elevating work platform (MEWP), commonly referred to as a “man lift” or “cherry picker,” that uses a hydraulic boom to elevate workers, tools, and materials.

2026 JLG 660SJ Telescopic Boom Lift

These lifts are also referred to as “stick booms” or “straight boom lifts.” Some tree service and landscaping professionals may also call them “telescopic tree lifts,” as these lifts offer distinct advantages in tree care, ideal for accessing hard-to-reach areas for jobs that require significant reach, such as trimming tall trees. Telescopic lifts can extend both horizontally and vertically, giving landscapers the flexibility required to navigate large outdoor spaces.

One popular telescopic boom lift for sale on TreeTrader.com is the JLG 660SJ, which has a maximum platform height of 65.6 feet (20 meters) and a 57.1-ft (17.4-m) maximum horizontal reach. With a platform capacity of 750 pounds (340 kilograms), it’s well-suited to working in hard-to-reach areas and tackling all your tree care needs.

Telescopic Boom Lifts vs. Articulating Boom Lifts

Telescopic boom lifts boast longer horizontal outreach capabilities than articulating boom lifts (and towable boom lifts, which generally also have articulating booms). With platform heights that typically range from 40 to 180 ft (12 to 55 m), and some models that even exceed 200 ft (61 m), telescopic man lifts also provide elevation that articulated boom lifts lack, as the latter often have platform heights ranging 30 to 130 ft (9 to 40 m), with the largest models offering about 156 ft (47.5 m).

This combination of greater heights and horizontal reach makes telescopic boom lifts ideal for outdoor work such as tree cutting and trimming, as well as fruit picking. Depending on the model, telescopic boom lifts provide:

• Maximum reach up to 200 ft (61 m) or more
• Greater horizontal reach
• Easy transportation on wheels or tracks
• Better rough terrain performance
• Turntable-equipped chassis for 360-degree boom rotation
• Battery-electric and hybrid options offering reduced or zero emissions and reduced noise

Articulated and towable boom lifts come with their own set of advantages, as they allow you to maneuver around obstacles at height, thanks to their multiple jointed sections, and can typically work in smaller spaces.
