JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight areas. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the industry; 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 machines offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you require no matter what work has to be completed.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch offers unmatched agility in tight spaces. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order 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 model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added so as 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 feature option is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option provides 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 kind of aircraft. This jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. 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.
JLG has made many of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the machinery.
