The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis that will allow access to tight places. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope in the business; 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 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units will provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require no matter what kind of task needs to be completed.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Giving unmatched agility and tight areas, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site productivity and offer 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 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 require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could 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 whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features that will help to reduce any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the driver is warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places due to 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 designed a lot of of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the equipment.
