JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option for access to tight places. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 types of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require no matter what work needs to be done.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Offering unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. 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
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machinery for working on any aircraft size. This model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included in order to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option which would help to reduce any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the operator is warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This kind of jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. 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 equipment overall effectiveness, JLG has designed many great feature options.
