Bil-Jax 45XA self-propelled articulating boom lift
Specifications for the Bil-Jax 45XA from the archived Bil-Jax literature, and parts and service for it from an independent shop in Orlando, Florida.
The Bil-Jax 45XA is a self-propelled articulating boom lift from the X-Boom range: about 51 ft of working height, 27 ft of outreach and 20 ft 9 in of up and over clearance, with a 4 ft 3 in platform jib. It has four-wheel drive, a 3.5 mph drive speed and 48% gradeability.
Hydraulic outriggers replace the heavy counterweight of a conventional self-propelled boom and set up in under 30 seconds. At 4,715 lb it trailers without a commercial driver's license. Options included non-marking or indoor tires, a hydraulic jib rotator and a material lifting attachment that turns the 45XA into a light-duty crane; a 4,500 watt generator, 110V GFI outlets and air and water lines to the platform were standard.

Where the literature disagrees
Figures changed between production years and with options, so the serial plate on your machine is the final word. Other archived 45XA literature says:
- The 2006 45XA brochure lists 51 ft (15.6 m) working height and 4,715 lb (2,139 kg).
Working height is the platform height plus 6 ft (2 m in metric), as is standard for aerial work platforms. Later Bil-Jax literature carries the Haulotte Group name, which is why the same machine is also looked up as the Haulotte 45XA.
