JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option to access tight places. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m. These machines offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the reach capacity and the power you require no matter what task has to be completed.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch provides unmatched agility in confined areas. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site productivity and offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal equipment for working on any aircraft size. This unit provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or fifty one feet of outreach. It includes many safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order to enable 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.
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 that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the driver is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This type of jib could be utilized 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 allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also increasing the machines overall efficiency, JLG has designed numerous great optional features.
