The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis which will allow access to confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 types of machinery provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would offer you with the reach capacity and the power you need regardless of what work needs to be done.
To give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Offering 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 be smoother for job site efficiency and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right equipment for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over 15 m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you need 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 in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage in aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This type of jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas because of 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. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has made a lot of of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the machinery.
