JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis for access to confined areas. 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 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches. These kinds of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the reach capacity and the power 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 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer offers 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
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order 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.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option that will help to lessen 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 the driver is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This jib could be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled areas due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. 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 made many great feature options.
