JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option for access to tight places. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height. These machinery offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require no matter what kind of job needs to be done.
To give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Providing unmatched agility and confined spaces, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to offer more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal equipment for working on any aircraft size. This model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different optional features that will help to reduce any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the driver is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This specific jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has made a lot of of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machine.
