JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight places. The 600 Series features the best work envelope in the industry; a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These machines provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the reach capacity and the power you need regardless of what kind of job needs to be completed.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Giving unmatched agility and confined spaces, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site efficiency and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features that 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 within a radius of 6 feet, and still 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 optional package provides 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.
Advantages
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This jib could be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled areas due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has made many of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the equipment.
