JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis to access confined areas. The 600 Series features the industry's best work envelope; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m 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 power and the reach capacity you require no matter what kind of task has to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added so as to enable 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 feature option 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 that 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 will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. 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.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has designed many great feature options.
