JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight places. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope in the industry; 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 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models will provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you need regardless of what work has to be done.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you excellent performance and drive 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 offer more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal 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 numerous safety features which 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 while doing so.
One more feature option is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This jib can be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled places because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option 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 operator as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has designed numerous great optional features.
