Bil-Jax 5533A trailer-mounted articulating boom lift
Specifications for the Bil-Jax 5533A from the archived Bil-Jax literature, and parts and service for it from an independent shop in Orlando, Florida.
The Bil-Jax 5533A is the largest of the Summit Series trailer-mounted articulating booms: about 61 ft of working height, 33 ft of side outreach and 23 ft of up and over clearance, with a 4 ft 3 in platform jib.
Hydraulic outriggers level it automatically in about 30 seconds. It can be run from the platform or from the ground control station, and both use a display panel with the buttons laid out around a single picture of the machine, so each button sits next to the part of the lift it moves.

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 5533A literature says:
- The later technical data sheet lists 5 ft 7 in stowed width and 6 ft 6 in stowed height; weight 4,800 lb.
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 5533A.
