JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis to access tight areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope in the business; 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 machines provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units will offer you with the strength and the reach capacity you require no matter what kind of job needs to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer provides unmatched agility in confined areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site productivity and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included in order to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This specific jib could be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled areas thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. 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 increasing the machines overall effectiveness, JLG has made many great optional features.
