JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis to access confined areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope in the industry; 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 types of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units will offer you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what work needs to be completed.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Giving unmatched agility and confined areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included so as to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
One more feature option is the Soft Touch System. This reduces damage and the risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This specific jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor enables 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 optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall effectiveness of the machinery.
