The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis which will allow access to 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the reach capacity and the power you require regardless of what work has to be done.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Giving unmatched agility and confined spaces, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machine for working on any aircraft size. This unit provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added 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 while doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the driver is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This kind of jib could be used 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 allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also improving the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has designed many great feature options.
