JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature a narrow chassis option for access to tight areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m. These equipment provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the power and the reach capacity you need no matter what kind of task has to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer gives unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site productivity and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machinery for working on any aircraft size. This model provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added 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 whilst doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage 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 operator is alerted if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed a lot of of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machinery.
