The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which would allow access to tight areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 types 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 strength you require no matter what task needs to be completed.
To give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Giving unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site efficiency and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machinery for working on any size of aircraft. This model offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact 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 the operator is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This type of jib could be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled places thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also improving the machinery overall effectiveness, JLG has made numerous great optional features.
