The JLG T350 is a towable boom lift commonly listed with a 35 ft platform height, 41 ft working height, 20 ft 6 in of horizontal outreach and a 500 lb platform capacity. Those headline figures are only a starting point: the work envelope, stabilizer setup, transport dimensions and machine condition can determine whether it is practical for your site. Use the specifications below as reference figures, then confirm the data plate and serial-specific documentation for the machine you plan to buy or rent. Configurations and specifications can vary, so a listing alone is not enough to confirm suitability.
The following figures are commonly published for the JLG T350. Metric conversions are rounded. Treat dimensions and weight as planning references until checked against the machine’s plate and documentation.
| Specification | Commonly listed figure | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Platform height | 35 ft (10.67 m) | Height of the platform above the ground at its rated maximum. |
| Working height | 41 ft (12.50 m) | A reach reference, not the platform’s actual height. |
| Horizontal outreach | 20 ft 6 in (6.25 m) | Helps assess how far the platform can reach sideways from the machine. |
| Up-and-over height | 15 ft 6 in (4.72 m) | Indicates the ability to reach over an obstacle within the boom’s operating envelope. |
| Platform capacity | 500 lb (227 kg) | Maximum rated platform load on commonly listed configurations; verify the machine’s decal. |
| Stowed dimensions | About 18 ft 9 in long, 5 ft 8 in wide and 6 ft 7 in high (5.72 × 1.73 × 2.01 m) | Useful for checking transport access and storage, but confirm how the dimensions are measured. |
| Machine weight | About 4,300 lb (1,950 kg) | A starting point for checking towing, loading and ground-support requirements. |
Do not use the table as a substitute for the serial-specific manual or machine data plate. Before committing, confirm the exact platform capacity, weight, dimensions and equipment configuration on the unit being offered. If a seller’s listing conflicts with its plate or documentation, ask for clarification rather than assuming the advertised figure applies.
The 35 ft platform-height figure describes where the platform can be raised. The 41 ft working-height figure is a conventional estimate of how high a worker may reach from the platform; it does not mean the platform itself rises to 41 ft. For tasks near a ceiling, roof edge or overhead service, compare the required work position with the platform height and boom diagram, rather than relying on the larger number alone.
The listed 20 ft 6 in horizontal outreach helps when you need to reach across an area from a fixed base position. It is not a promise that the boom can reach that far at every elevation. Maximum height, maximum outreach and up-and-over capability describe different parts of the working envelope, and they may not be available simultaneously.
Sketch the work area before choosing the lift. Mark where the base can stand, the location of walls or other obstacles, the required platform height and the point where the worker needs to reach. Then compare that layout with the T350’s operating-envelope diagram. If the machine would have to sit on an unsuitable surface or be repositioned repeatedly to reach each work point, its headline outreach may not translate into productive working time.
A 500 lb platform rating, where confirmed for the machine, is a total-load limit. Count the operator, other occupants, tools and materials together. A load that appears manageable when considered as equipment alone may exceed the rating once everything on the platform is included.
Check the platform decal for the applicable capacity and occupancy information. Do not assume that a platform can carry a particular number of people simply because it has room for them, and do not treat a rated capacity as permission to carry an uneven or unsecured load. If the job requires bulky materials, compare the load and working space with the platform’s actual dimensions and the manufacturer’s instructions.
The T350’s stowed size can be a useful advantage where access is constrained, but published transport dimensions do not answer every access question. Measure the actual route into the site, including gates, overhead obstructions, tight turns and the space needed to position the machine. Confirm whether the stated length includes the drawbar and coupler, and whether any removable or projecting parts affect clearance.
Because the T350 is towable, machine weight is only one part of the transport check. Confirm the actual unit weight, towing connection, towing vehicle and any applicable braking or road requirements for your location. For a New Zealand purchase or rental, verify the machine’s documentation and the requirements that apply to the intended tow vehicle and journey. Do not select a vehicle based on a general specification-sheet weight alone.
Also check how the lift will be delivered, unloaded and stored. A route that accommodates the stowed machine may not provide enough room to deploy its stabilizers or position it for work. If access is tight, ask the supplier to confirm the machine’s actual dimensions and setup footprint before delivery.
The T350 needs a suitable setup area as well as a clear access route. Establish the required stabilizer deployment area from the manual for the specific machine, then check that the ground is firm and level enough for the prescribed setup. Soft ground, slopes, covers over voids and underground services can all affect where the unit can be placed. Use only the support and setup methods specified for that machine; do not improvise with materials or assume a small footprint means low ground pressure.
Look above and around the work area before positioning the lift. Roof edges, building projections, tree branches and overhead services can restrict boom movement or create a hazard. Keep the operating area clear of people who are not involved in the work, and follow the machine’s instructions and site procedures for safe operation. The working-envelope diagram and operating manual are more useful for planning than a single maximum-height number.
Consider setup time in the job plan. A towable lift may suit work where the machine can be positioned, stabilized and used for a period without frequent relocation. For a job involving many short tasks across a large area, the time spent moving and resetting it may make another access solution more practical.
| Job requirement | What the T350 figures can tell you | What to confirm before choosing it |
|---|---|---|
| Work at height in one or a few locations | The listed platform and working heights may cover the required elevation. | Required platform height, overhead clearance and the operating-envelope diagram. |
| Reach over a fixed obstacle | Outreach and up-and-over figures indicate possible access around or above an obstruction. | Whether the required height and reach occur together from a safe base position. |
| Carry people, tools and materials | The commonly listed capacity provides a reference limit. | The actual decal rating, total loaded weight, occupancy limits and platform dimensions. |
| Move between sites by towing | Stowed dimensions and machine weight help with initial planning. | Actual towing weight, coupler, vehicle suitability, route clearance and local requirements. |
| Work on a compact or uneven site | Transport width alone cannot establish whether the lift will fit once set up. | Stabilizer footprint, ground conditions, slope limits and room for safe operation. |
The T350 is most likely to suit work where its height and reach cover the task, the machine can be placed on appropriate ground, and the setup can remain in position long enough to justify deployment. Consider a different lift or access method if the job needs greater capacity, a different reach profile, frequent movement between work points or a setup area the T350 cannot safely use. Make the decision from the job layout, not from working height alone.
Condition can matter as much as the specification sheet, particularly on a used lift. Ask to see the machine’s data plate, operating manual and available service or inspection records. If the seller cannot establish the unit’s configuration or explain a mismatch between its listing and its documentation, resolve that issue before agreeing to a purchase or rental.
For a rental, compare the complete job cost rather than the base rental period alone. Account for delivery and collection, transport arrangements, setup time, power needs and the time the crew will spend waiting if the machine is not suitable. For a purchase, include inspection, servicing, storage and any repairs identified during the assessment. The cheapest headline option may cost more if it cannot reach the work area or requires repeated repositioning.
Commonly published specifications list a working height of 41 ft (12.50 m) and a platform height of 35 ft (10.67 m). Confirm the figures on the specific machine’s documentation, especially if the listing does not identify its configuration.
A commonly listed maximum horizontal outreach is 20 ft 6 in (6.25 m). That figure does not mean the machine can achieve maximum outreach at every boom height, so use the operating-envelope diagram to check the exact work position.
Commonly listed T350 specifications give a 500 lb (227 kg) platform capacity, but the machine’s own decal and manual take priority. Include all occupants, tools and materials in the total platform load.
That depends on the actual machine weight and towing equipment, the vehicle’s ratings and the requirements for the intended journey. Confirm the unit’s documentation and towing setup before moving it; do not assume that any vehicle capable of towing a similar-sized trailer is suitable.
Its stowed dimensions can help with initial access planning, but the lift also needs space to be positioned and set up. Measure the whole route and confirm the stabilizer footprint and ground conditions before arranging delivery.
Start with the serial-specific data plate, platform capacity, machine weight, dimensions and power configuration. Then compare those details with the manual and inspect the boom, controls, towing equipment, stabilizers and service records before purchase.
Use the JLG T350 specs to screen the machine against your work height, reach, load and transport needs, then verify every critical figure on the actual unit. If the site cannot accommodate the setup or the work falls outside its operating envelope, choose a different machine rather than relying on a headline specification.
