JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis to access tight areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 kinds of equipment offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units will provide you with the reach capacity and the power you need no matter what task has to be done.
To give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Offering unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site efficiency 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 has many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still 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 provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This type of 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 optional on-board air compressor allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed a lot of of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the equipment.
