JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option to access tight areas. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the industry; a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches and 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height. These types of machines offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units will offer you with the reach capacity and the power you require regardless of what job has to be done.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in confined areas. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site productivity and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added so as to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option that 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 that 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 operator is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This specific jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has made numerous great optional features.
