Product Details

SELF-PROPELLED ARTICULATING BOOM LIFT

SAL-38J 38m Articulating Boom Lift 

The Onchtech SAL-38J is a self-propelled articulating boom lift designed for high-access work where operators must reach above, beyond, or around structures. As a flagship model in the internal-combustion articulating boom range, it is intended for large outdoor construction and industrial projects requiring substantial working envelope and on-site mobility. It helps contractors, industrial operators, rental fleets, and equipment distributors access elevated work areas that are difficult to serve with straight vertical lifting equipment alone.

High-Reach Aerial Work Capability

40.1 m
Maximum working height

Supports elevated installation, inspection, coating, and maintenance tasks on large structures, roof systems, towers, and industrial assemblies.

19.5 m
Up-and-over clearance

Allows the boom to pass over major obstacles before positioning the platform at the required work point, which is relevant around process equipment and structural members.

21.6 m
Maximum horizontal outreach

Provides lateral reach for work faces that cannot be approached directly from below, such as wide-span roofs, vessel groups, and ship structures.

230 kg / 480 kg
Dual platform capacity

The two rated load options provide selection flexibility for personnel, tools, and work materials according to the planned task and operating requirements.

Drive System and Jobsite Maneuverability

SAL-38J uses an internal-combustion power configuration for outdoor and large-project operating conditions. Its four-wheel drive (4WD) supports movement between work positions on suitable jobsite surfaces, while the four-wheel steering (4WS) system is designed to improve steering flexibility when positioning a large boom lift around site obstacles and within constrained operating zones.

Configuration focus: The combined 4WD and 4WS arrangement is especially relevant when buyers need a high-reach articulating boom lift that can be repositioned across expansive industrial sites without relying on a separate towing operation.

For distributor or private-label cooperation, Onchtech can discuss OEM, ODM, or OBM product and branding requirements based on the target market and project specification.

Application Scenarios

Large Stadium Construction

Used for installation and maintenance work on long-span roof systems and elevated structural sections, where up-and-over clearance helps access points behind major building elements.

Refinery Equipment Installation

Suitable for elevated assembly, inspection, and installation work around core tower groups and process structures, where horizontal outreach supports access from an offset position.

Shipbuilding and Ship Repair

Supports coating and maintenance operations across hull sections and upper structures, allowing the platform to be positioned at elevated work faces with a broad boom envelope.

Suitable Buyers and Selection Considerations

SAL-38J is suited to construction contractors, refinery and industrial project operators, shipyard service providers, aerial work platform rental fleets, and distributors sourcing a high-reach self-propelled articulating boom lift. It is most relevant where the work plan requires a 40.1 m maximum working height, obstacle-crossing access, long horizontal reach, and higher platform load options.

Before selection, buyers should confirm the required working height, horizontal distance to the work face, obstacles to be crossed, planned platform load, jobsite surface conditions, transport route, and local operating requirements. These factors help determine whether the SAL-38J working envelope and drive arrangement fit the intended project.

Contact Onchtech with your application drawings, work height, load requirement, and site conditions to discuss the appropriate product configuration and cooperation model.
