This is a video we recorded of a JLG 1850SJ going up to max height which is 185 ft. This rig is not for someone with a faint stomach when it comes to heights. Filmed with GoPro Hero 4 Black.

I been up to 165 on a day with a slight breeze every 10 min. Co"worker" went up with me. The kind of guy who will do as little as possible and started talking shit to you after, when he noticed ur pissed of at him for being a lazy ass. About half way up I did not notice that he stopped voicing his concerns. I just kept going up to the max just to do it. I kept voicing my excitement and some fear when the breeze would kick up and I'd stop going up. I don't mind saying it was a bit scary. Finally got to the top and made a comment and no comment was made back. Co"worker" was at my feet balled up white knuckling the console frame. Dead stare right into the genie blue metal panel. Came back down to the work height of 155. Got out to the roof and did a few hours of work. Came back down and sat the basket on the ground. Jumped out and said "dude we are down" No response. Just the stare. Started to the office to inform and as I turn to the office he spoke. "Dude! Come on let's get this over with!" SMH and thought, "f this guy making jokes. " So I came back to start unloading all the tools. He made a remark " Dude what's wrong?" started talking shit as usual. Told him "Fuck you, bitch, I'm going home." It was the end of the day. Then I noticed something different. He stood in the basket as if he expected me to return, as if I was joking with him. I asked him, "What are you doing for lunch?". His reply was , "My cooler bag is right there." But I had already ate my lunch 4 hours ago at lunch time. I asked him what time did he think it was. 10. 10 am i asked? "Yeah!" he says as if to hurry me. That's when I told him it was 4pm time to put up and go home. I left. Don't know how long he stayed. I wasn't up for his BS. Later on every time the others would start talking about lifts he stop talking and just started working. So everytime I didn't wanna put up with his crap I'd start talking about getting up on that lift (which was already gone, picked up by the rental company) he'd shut up and actually start working. "Too much work down here" he'd mumble.

The camera doesn't do anything for how scary feeling this really is. That bucket moves like it's on a yoyo up that high. I have been up that same lift, as well as the 150 and 125 multiple times and it is scary. If you are next to structure, then it isn't bad at all, but out in the wide open, it is HELL!!! And....you took the easy way up. You should have extended the booms first, then raised the lower. That makes it really fun! Also, when the extensions bottom out, it makes a slamming jerking sound/bump that scares the Hell out of you.

This boom has what's called an envelope management system. This is to keep operators from putting the boom out of counterbalance. I've tested these functions many times. The boom will only raise when the boom is extended to the 70 ft mark or less when the boom is fully lowered. The 185 ft straight booms are nothing compared to the 135 ft articulating booms when it comes to feeling uneasy. Lots of play in the swing gear too. (Backlash)

@magnum_dingus 5 жыл бұрын

Pro tip for making boom lifts far less unnerving: run the jib up first, then the boom, then extend out. The end of travel on extension will move you around a lot less than hitting the end of travel on the boom or the jib when you're at max height. Source: I'm a tech at a CAT Rental Store.

I've run them a lot at 50 ft and below and never much worried about them on the lower jobs, but the highest I've ever been up was 125 ft working on a NASA radio tower at Cape Canaveral. We went up at first light to avoid the wind coming off the ocean. We had to attach the hardware for a safety climb system at the top of the monopole antenna tower. We set the machine up at a diagonal to the antenna get maximum spread for our boom position as we were sitting in soft beach sand. Even with the smoothest attempts at moving the controls it's really easy to get some serious herky-jerkies going on in the bucket at that height! In between trying to get the bolts in the holes while everything was wiggling around and not dropping anything, I got to watch a beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean!

We ordered a 200' lift for a job at San Onofre Generating Station in 1988, I believe it was a JLG, straight boom with an eight foot long basket on it. We needed to reach the upper portal tower from the switch yard road. Another guy and I started up in it, and about half way up, the other guy said "Oh hell no, take me down" so I took him down and went back up and did the job alone. stretched that sucker all the way out, and swung the basket to get the max reach, and still had to hang over the rail to reach the farthest out insulators.

I was on a worksite and one of the guys asked if I wanted to go "full stick" (right up) on a Z-135. Absolutely fucking terrifying it turned out to be. There was a loader operating very close to the wheels of the machine (I couldn't help but think what would happen if it bumped it). There was quite a bit of wind which didn't help. I ended up gripping the basket rails and asking if we could go down a bit. The operator then showed me some of its safety features, how there are interlocks to prevent you going out too far from the base, he extended it out until it hit those interlocks... yeah no thanks, won't be doing that again anytime soon

At work tejas equipment rentals we have an 120 ft boom lift it sure is scary to inspect drive in all the way up... Couldn't do 185ft lol!

For that capable of a machine you'd think it'd creak and groan a little less

@joeleek2619 3 жыл бұрын

I will agree the higher you are typically the more movement there is in the boom but as long as you're careful about how you operate it you will be fine

I spend an hour and a half today getting a 60' unstuck. The operator drove it off the blacktop onto the grass and it sunk almost to the frame.

I took up a 185 with 3 buddies in Chicago 3 years ago.

I’m surprised the lift can carry someone with balls that big

Thankful to primarily work out of 60' lifts, biggest I've maxed out was a130' and that was enough.

Does this move at the same speed at the Genie SX 180?

@Hullad1379 Ай бұрын

these actually feel more solid and sway less than the littler lifts.

@KennethYoungJr2 6 жыл бұрын

I bet the sway on that would be stupid scary

@MidWestSparky13 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is. I haven't max a 185 out as the job required more reach than elevation only about 4 stories up but between the sway and the bounce it feels sketchy. Your only supposed to operate them in less than 28 mph winds.

@@MidWestSparky13 That wind limits goes for 60 footers too. I had job at a mall working on their light post. Winds were blowing around 15-18 with gusts into the 30s. Yeah, I told them I ain't going up today!

I was on a fully extended 85’ and it had 24” of sway side to side. NO WAY ON THAT !

@TheGor54 2 жыл бұрын

This has what feels like 10' of sway...and the controls suck! Major delay,let go of the stick and it keeps moving about 8'.

@jermzdee 6 жыл бұрын

I have done this before. Very creepy when you move and sway slightly. Takes some getting use too that's for sure

Does it come with a parachute or some type of anti splatter air bag? at what wind speed does it blow over?

I think your title needs updating. The world tallest is now over 330 feet.

Cool. Been on an 84 foot one with 40 foot snorkel, that was scarier than hell though, so 185 feet, hmmm

@jrudis1 3 жыл бұрын

Im a union tin knocker, I've been up working in an 80 footer...it was fully boomed up and out, jib up everything. We were just shy of the elbows we had to reach so we were standing on the mid rail undoing the connection. It was a little sketchy up there on the mid rail actually working and getting that basket swinging lol!! Another 100 feet would be insane, but definitely something I want to try one day haha
