JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis to access confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 equipment offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units will provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what work needs to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer offers unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to offer more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes 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 in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces damage and the risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is alerted 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 aircraft. This kind of 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 allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. 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 improve overall efficiency of the machine.
