A design first introduced in 1985 still rules indoor access today. That is how enduring and effective the original articulating electric boom concept is, and it is a big reason our customers keep coming back to the same proven families from Genie and JLG.
Choosing the right lift for indoor work is all about fit, reach, and productivity. Tight aisles, sensitive floors, and busy schedules leave no room for guesswork. At Above All Equipment, we live and breathe electric booms, and we are here to make your choice easy with our top five picks for 2026.
Why Electric Boom Lifts Shine Indoors
Electric articulating booms are purpose built for interior spaces. They are quiet, clean, and typically compact enough to maneuver through doorways and around racking. Most are designed with non-marking tires and offer precise jib articulation for up-and-over reach, which helps you clear obstacles like pipes, conveyors, and mezzanines. If you need height without the headache, electric is the way to go.
Our Top 5 Electric Boom Lifts for 2026
We are focusing on the two brands that dominate indoor applications, Genie and JLG. These models are the most requested by our customers for reliability, support, and performance.
1. JLG E300 AJP, 30 ft class
The JLG E300 AJP is a staple for indoor maintenance and facility work. It is a 30 foot platform height machine with a 36 foot working height, a sweet spot for warehouses, schools, hospitals, and light industrial.
Why we like it:
- Maneuverable for tight interiors
- Strong up-and-over capability for clearance work
- Widely supported parts and service
2. Genie Z30
Genie pioneered this style of boom in 1985, and the Z30 has been refined for four decades. In 2026 it celebrates roughly its 41st year, a testament to a design that just works in real-world environments.
Why we like it:
- Proven track record inside facilities
- Smooth, intuitive controls that reduce operator fatigue
- Excellent value on the new and used market
3. JLG E400 AJP, 40 ft class
When you need more reach without stepping up to a large chassis, the E400 AJP brings the right mix of height and compactness for interior applications that push beyond 30 feet.
Why we like it:
- Extra reach for higher bays and atriums
- Familiar JLG control layout across the E-series
- Popular fleet size for rental and ownership
4. Genie Z40
The Genie Z40 gives you that 40 foot class reach with the Z family’s renowned articulation and indoor friendliness.
Why we like it:

- Consistent performance across generations
- Strong resale and easy sourcing for parts
5. JLG E450 AJP, 45 ft class
Our pick to round out the top five is the JLG E450 AJP. When your building height or production line demands more, the E450 delivers indoor reach with electric efficiency.
Why we like it:
- Taller reach for larger facilities and high-clearance installs
- Versatile enough to cover both maintenance and light construction
- A favorite in the 45 foot electric category
How to Choose the Right Indoor Electric Boom
A little planning saves a lot of time on site. Here is how we guide customers every day.
- Know your heights: Platform height is not the same as working height. For example, the JLG E300 AJP has a 30 foot platform height and a 36 foot working height. Measure your highest task and add a safety margin.
- Check your aisles and access: Door widths, turning radius, and floor load limits matter. Share your layout and we will match the right chassis size.
- Consider obstacles: If you must reach up and over ducts, racks, or machinery, articulating booms like the Z and E-series shine.
- Plan charging and duty cycles: Electric lifts are ideal indoors. We will help you plan battery care and charging so your team stays productive.
- Align with your budget: We stock new, used, and reconditioned units. Reconditioned can deliver like-new performance with serious savings.
