JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option to access confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 machines offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units will offer you with the power and the reach capacity you require regardless of what work has to be done.
To give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Providing unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
Another feature option is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the operator is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib can be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled 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.
JLG has made a lot of of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall effectiveness of the equipment.
