The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis that would allow access to confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the industry; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These machinery provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you require regardless of what job needs to be completed.
To give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Offering unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are better 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 best machine for working on any aircraft size. This unit offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to 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 during 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 the operator is alerted if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This particular jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall effectiveness, JLG has designed numerous great feature options.
