This is a broad modelled estimate, not a verified market range. It starts with the sourced indicative new price of $99,600 and applies HeavyBook’s declared depreciation curve for boom lifts at the reference ages shown above. A real machine can sit outside it because of hours, condition, attachments and location. See the method →

The 340AJ is JLG's compact diesel knuckle boom, a hire-yard staple that filters into private hands as rental fleets rotate stock. It suits builders, painters and facility-maintenance crews who need up-and-over reach around obstructions with narrow site access. Australian used examples are overwhelmingly ex-rental, almost always the Kubota diesel with four-wheel drive and the articulating jib fitted as standard; dual-fuel versions surface only occasionally. Supply skews to the eastern seaboard, dominated by mid-life machines from the model's core production run. The price spread is wide, driven less by age than by hours, boom wear and service history — and critically by where a machine sits against its ten-year major inspection, which can consume a meaningful share of its value. Budget for that, verify the logbook, and check slew and jib pins for slop before committing.

What a JLG 340AJ is used for

The JLG 340AJ is a compact articulating boom lift — its jointed boom reaches up and over obstacles to position where a straight boom or scissor lift cannot.

  • External building maintenance and cleaning
  • Reaching over plant, landscaping or fixed obstacles
  • Steel erection, signage and facade work
  • Tree work and arboriculture
  • Tight-access construction on rough ground (four-wheel drive)

What Moves the Price

Adds the most

In-date major inspection

The ten-year major inspection dominates boom-lift value in Australia. Recently inspected units command a premium; due units trade at a discount that mirrors the job.

Clear premium

Four-wheel drive & jib

Rough-terrain drive and an articulating jib are what site buyers pay for. Slab-only electric booms serve a narrower market.

The floor

Ex-rental fleet churn

Rental fleets turn booms over in bulk, and those sell-offs set the floor. Owner-operator machines with history recover the gap.

Priced off the top

Boom wear & slew

Sloppy boom pivots, worn slew rings and weeping cylinders are expensive fixes — buyers quote them straight off the asking price.

340AJ Price FAQ

How much is a used JLG 340AJ worth in Australia?
HeavyBook's indicative used-price estimate spans $14,000–$66,000, with $33,000 as the 8-year mid-life reference. The low and high points use 14-year and 3-year reference ages. This is modelled from a sourced new price and a declared category depreciation curve — not verified sold data. Age, hours, condition, attachments and location can move a real machine outside the band.
Is this estimate based on real sold prices?
No. It is a transparent modelled reference while verified sold-price data is unavailable. HeavyBook keeps it visually separate from market ranges, publishes the assumptions, and never uses it as an offer, valuation or sample-sized market figure.
What is a JLG 340AJ used for?
The JLG 340AJ is a compact articulating boom lift — its jointed boom reaches up and over obstacles to position where a straight boom or scissor lift cannot.
How much does a JLG 340AJ weigh?
The JLG 340AJ has an operating weight of 4,445 kg (9,800 lb, CE/Australia spec).
What engine is in a JLG 340AJ?
The JLG 340AJ is powered by 18.5 kW Kubota D1105 diesel (dual-fuel option).
How much can a JLG 340AJ lift?
The JLG 340AJ has a rated capacity of 227 kg (500 lb).
How high does a JLG 340AJ reach?
The JLG 340AJ has a platform height of 10.31 m (33 ft 10 in).
How much is a new JLG 340AJ?
A new JLG 340AJ is around $99,600 ex-GST (Indicative new price for the current JLG 340AJ (diesel, standard build), ex-GST. Configurations vary.). Used examples list for less; HeavyBook's equipment finance calculator estimates the monthly repayment on either.
Where do used JLG 340AJs sell in Australia?
Almost every used 340AJ in Australia has already had one life in a hire yard. Rental companies buy them in numbers, work them through the middle of their service life and let them filter into private hands as fleets rotate stock, mostly along the eastern seaboard. Builders, painters and facility-maintenance crews are the second owners. Because the machines arrive so uniformly specified — Kubota diesel, four-wheel drive, jib fitted — the only real variables are hours, boom condition and where a unit sits against its ten-yearly major inspection. That last one moves the price more than anything else on the list.
What makes one 340AJ worth more than another?
Major-inspection status leads: an in-date ten-year inspection is the single biggest value factor on an Australian boom lift. Rough-terrain capability and a jib broaden the buyer pool, while boom pivot and slew wear are priced straight off the top.

Buying a JLG 340AJ

What to check before you buy

  • Where the machine sits against its ten-yearly major inspection, and who is paying for it
  • Slew and jib pin slop, checked with the boom extended
  • Boom wear pads and the condition of the surfaces they run on
  • Logbook completeness — an access machine without one is hard to put to work
  • Oscillating axle function and hydrostatic drive on rough ground
  • Whether it is the diesel or the less common dual-fuel version

Check it is not encumbered

A search shows whether someone else has registered a security interest over the machine — a financier who can repossess it after you have paid the seller — and whether it has been reported stolen or written off. It does not tell you what is owed, and it is not a valuation.

Boom lifts travel at working speeds rather than road speeds, so they generally fall outside the motor-vehicle definition. Search against the seller rather than the machine: an individual by name and date of birth, or a business by its ACN.

Search the Personal Property Securities Register. The register publishes a case study on buying heavy construction equipment privately.
