The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which will allow access to confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the business; 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches. These machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units will offer you with the strength and the reach capacity you need no matter what work has to be done.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Offering unmatched agility and confined areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site productivity and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machine for working on any aircraft size. This model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included 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 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 machine 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 the operator is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This specific jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables 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 machines overall effectiveness, JLG has made many great feature options.
