JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight places. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the industry; 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m. These kinds of machinery offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would offer you with the strength and the reach capacity you need no matter what work needs to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you exceptional performance and drive 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 offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machine for working on any size of aircraft. This unit provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included in order 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 another feature option that would help to lessen any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the driver is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has made many of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the equipment.
