JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature a narrow chassis option for access to confined places. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope in the business; 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches. These kinds of machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the reach capacity and the power you require no matter what kind of task needs to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site efficiency and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib enables for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This specific jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also improving the machines overall effectiveness, JLG has designed numerous great feature options.
