JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature a narrow chassis option to access tight places. The 600 Series features the best work envelope within the industry; 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 kinds of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the reach capacity and the power you need regardless of what work has to be completed.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come 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 so as to be smoother for job site productivity and give more controlled operation.
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 over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as to allow 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 while doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage 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 if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the driver is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This specific jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. 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 driver as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machine.
