Whole sale JLG 1600317 1001129555 1001118417 Joystick Controller for JLG Boom Lift 400 600 660 1200 Series

This product is a genuine OEM Joystick Controller manufactured by JLG Industries, Inc., a global leader in aerial work platforms. It is a critical electromechanical interface used to precisely control the movement and functions of various JLG boom lifts and telehandlers.

The listed part numbers are specific identifiers for this joystick assembly, which may correspond to different production batches or specific compatible machine families. It is essential to cross-reference your machine's model and serial number with these part numbers to ensure compatibility.

Key Features & Specifications

• Genuine OEM Part: Guarantees perfect fit, optimal performance, and reliability, designed to meet JLG's strict engineering standards.

• Multiple Part Numbers: Compatible part numbers include 1600317, 1001129555, and 1001118417. (Always verify with your equipment's manual or JLG dealer).

• Function: This joystick is a proportional controller, meaning the intensity of the output (e.g., speed of movement) is directly proportional to the degree of deflection of the joystick from its neutral position. This allows for smooth, precise, and controlled operation.

• Typical Controls: A single joystick often integrates multiple control axes and functions, such as:

  • Platform Rotation (Swing): Left/Right movement of the joystick.

  • Boom Elevation (Up/Down): Forward/Backward movement of the joystick.

  • Tool Control (Optional): Often includes a twist grip or thumbwheel for controlling auxiliary functions (e.g., tool rotation, hydraulic tools).

  • Function Buttons (Optional): May have integrated buttons for features like horn, platform leveling, or function selection.

Core Applications & Functions

This joystick controller is a vital component for the safe and efficient operation of the machine. Its primary applications include:

1. Primary Machine Control:

   • Boom Articulation: Precisely controlling the extension, retraction, elevation, and lowering of the machine's boom sections.

   • Platform Positioning: Enabling smooth and accurate rotation (swing) of the work platform to position the operator and tools exactly where needed.

   • Auxiliary Hydraulic Functions: Operating any attached hydraulic tools, such as drills, saws, or winches, via the integrated proportional control.

2. Safety and Control Systems:

   • Ergonomics: Designed for comfortable operation, reducing operator fatigue and increasing productivity during long shifts.

   • System Integration: Directly interfaces with the machine's Main Control Module (MCM) or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), translating mechanical input into electronic signals that actuate hydraulic solenoids.

3. Maintenance and Repair:

   • Replacement Part: This assembly is a direct replacement for joysticks that have failed due to:

     • Wear and Tear: Internal potentiometers or Hall-effect sensors wearing out.

     • Physical Damage: Broken handle, cracked housing, or damaged wiring from impact or harsh environments.

     • Electrical Failure: Faulty wiring, connector corrosion, or water ingress leading to malfunction.
