I've been in a JLG 1250, up about 50' and boomed out about 50', and have been up about 100', the rig was on a street. It was alot of excitement, but also alot to think about. This Bronto is steady like I've never seen, but man at this stage of the game I don't know if I want to go up the equivalent of football field, but then if again the opportunity were to present itself......
Funny,.......i think about that all the time even in my AJ800. Ive never had a hydraulic hose go or something to see it go in safety mode, but lile you i think the unexpected can happen!
There is almost a zero possibility of it coming down unless you hit the boom against something and it misshapes it, a hydraulic hose goes nothing will happen, that’s what check valves and counterbalance valves are for
I use to build towers... I'd rather climb the structure of possible. I was on an 80 ft lift with very high winds and it was very sketchy. alarms going off on uneven surfaces makes a fun ride lol. not to mention I dont think it's designed to have 80ft of very heavy hydraulic hoses hanging off of it at that height
Do you need FAA clearance/certification/license/approval to operate one of those? Millions of years ago, we'd rent a Cessna 152 and dip that low for aerial photography. I'd feel much safer in a tiny plane than on a lift. Scary!
I remember going on a 200ft roller coster my friends really wanted to go on. (I hate heights) I about shit myself on the way down. Beautiful but terrifying view at the top
I have found in using these type of platforms that knowing how safe a machine is does not help much when it comes to actually going up. Plus I was amazed at how many people would not even give it a go.
Used my first one today training. Had to go to the very top in the basket alone. Was 40 foot. Absolutely bugger this one that was high enough. Honestly I wouldn’t even step onto this one
Great video, boom lift is very effective and useful to work on height. Mtandt lanka is one of the company who are the boom lift manufacturers and there equipment are made up of good quality and at affordable price.
@@nastyrex4302 how was it? I’m a sign installer so I’ve been on my fair amount of big lifts the second time I was ever in a jlg it was a 185 and we were working at 180 feet on a water tower there was like 4 feet of sway lol
What if suddenly he turns around and one of the co-workers from the ground brought up a tray of coffees and gives it to them before he is filmed scurrying down the boom arm? What would you think?
@@thomasrobinette3227 there is a safety inside the hydraulic cilinders that lift the platform. In case of a severe hydraulic rupture valves inside these cilinders will close, locking the platform in place. You would just be hanging there stuck on that height, and maybe come down with the gravitational descend system
"it's so smooth", try doing boom cleans and re-greasing in 12+ m/s (28mphs) wind speeds, like i've been doing all week, fuckin freezing and not so smooth! Great machine though, Brontos are by far the best
“I’ve always wanted to drop a watermelon or a cantaloupe or something off here” I would’ve immediately blurted out “be kinda like a head huh?” And made everyone in that basket a little less comfortable
Its the alarms on the bucket you idiot. Large equipment like that have movement alarms so people on the ground know the equipment is moving. You don't know much about construction equipment do you.
I've been working on aerial equipment for 8 years, this is giving me heart palpitations. I've never been up higher than 126 feet
Serious equipment right here, no noticeable shaking at all.

I’ll bet that the cellular reception is wonderful at 220’ in the air!
Not necessarily. The antennas are typically directed downward.
No swaying ..that's a good lift ...wouldn't be worried at all....but I do worried bout mechanical failure....
Well you are worried period!

Why are you worried about that? These machines are very safety redundant. As long as you aren’t using it dangerously, you will be fine.
@Rob my point is ..there is always mechanical failure ..I've been a union laborer for 29 years ..I've seen alot of crazy shit happen with JLG'S
That is so crazy i can feel dizzy just by looking at it lol
I just discovered this boom lift, and it triggered my fear of heights I thought I conquered LOL
I was thinking the same shit lmao
Same lmao
Right? I've been up about 95 feet in a boom, and after about 15 minutes I thought I was a hero being up there. This would put me to shame

Safety harness ?? Fuck that I want a parachute. !!!!!!
💯
The biggest JLG I've worked out of was a 120' lift.
I never knew they made one that could reach this high. Insane.
rumor has it this lift was scrapped after this video because they couldnt get the shit smell out of it no matter how hard they tried. True story
Does it have a onboard toilet?.
I remember going on a 200ft roller coster my friends really wanted to go on. (I hate heights) I about shit myself on the way down. Beautiful but terrifying view at the top
DUDE!!!! I want a ride on that! I have only been up the 185' genie.
The 185 JLG is the biggest, thats exaggerated
Been in boom lifts up to 125 routinely in my career but it would take a bit of prodding to get me into this guy here!

That's gonna be a nope from Me dog. Thanks for looking out!

THE BASE LOOKS TO SMALL FOR THAT LARGE A BOOM EVEN WITH THE LITTLE OUTRIGGERS
Um, watch the video again maybe? The thing didn’t sway at all. I’d feel more comfortable in that then 40 feet up in genie man lift
No furesure but the aay it goes str8 up is why so stable

it needs flashing red lights for air traffic hazard
😂😂 yes
I watch this video with my eyes closed.
That's insane. Nice truck.
Man what if someone jump in and drove off lmao 😂😂😂😂 y'all would tip over straight into heaven.
This is the most underrated comment ahahaha 😂😂
That is not possible, the legs raise the entire truck from the ground. The wheels are clear of the ground
Legs are raised and there is an interlock system that prevents the truck from being driven in the cab is the booms are raised
Flipping crazy
I'm scared just looking down, wow
I've used a 34m bronto before, my licence covers me up to about 105m, never been lucky enough to get up to 100m on one
Lucky?? I don’t like going 30m
@@PiOfficial oh mate I love working at height, even though on an elevated platform at 100m it would be swaying like a bitch I still fancy it
can't wait to inspect one of these.
I work in QC on boom lifts, and I'll pass on this 1 😂
@@supie5063 to each their own, I inspect ladder trucks, and aerial lift apparatus.
What do you even use this thing for? Are you fixing the Statue of Liberty or something?
How much weight is in the bottom of this? It must be a lot to counterbalance this height.
Looks much more stable than the JLG 185
I've been in an 85J so 91 foot boom I've dreamed of a 135 ride them saw the 185s then found this monster on here
I'm operating a 185 as my first one tomorrow. I road up in a 135 to see how it was. Not a fan

@@samppaboe2510 what type of lift was it.
awh look the cab is on fire what do we do now!
i would be up there too if the basket was that stable
What if suddenly he turns around and one of the co-workers from the ground brought up a tray of coffees and gives it to them before he is filmed scurrying down the boom arm? What would you think?
Shut up
Can't wait to set a piece of glass from one of these! LU 636 !
that was the safest I ever felt in a man lift
I would be $hi++ing a brick internally but acting totally cool.
Does this come with Parachute's in case I have to jump out? LOL!
No frigging way! never ever!
I use to test jlg 1200-1500 an this is defiantly up there lol the wind is what use to get to me at times lol (hate the wind)
Dam I have to go and change my pants
Rent me Im only $20,000 a day.....lol

say your up that high working .. what happens if there is an earthquake🤔
Yooo this is my company 😂
My hands are pouring sweat
if you get stuck what happens?
They emergency procedures they can do to get you down.
...you operate the emergency pressure release...
@@dericanslum1696 what happens when the emergency pressure release breaks what then smart ass.
Those stabilizer arms would have to be about another 100 ft out , before i let my wife ride it. {maybe }.
Big balls
That's no boom lift. It's a space elevator 😂
My hands are sweeting and I climb 30 ft ladder all day
The people look like ants, what happens when the boom is at a 45° angle and not straight up and you turn is it going to tip?
These have safety features that prevent you from going at an angle at which you will tip, I believe
Prepare the brown pants!
I have a 390FT boomlift
Prove it.
Not with out a parachute!
NopeLift seen frequently at SpaceX
I operate a Bronto identical to this one at SpaceX
Been in one, not a fan
jumping jacks .. to check pucker factor
Er....nope!
Nope can't do it...rotate nah dude
Whatever is revering during that test run needs to stop. Just stop werever you are and wait.

don't fall off !
Now hop a little bit.
no thanks
It doesn't have any joints? Only moves like a crane? Guess it can't with that reach lol
in realty- wats the purpose? at that height with your lil paint brush painting trim-- no ones going to see it
...not painting...
F that!!!!
No thanks…
Your no fooling anyone poo is coming out
I'm sorry but you are sorely mistaken. Poo actually tends to form a concrete barrier of constipation in these situations.
