JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option to access confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 equipment provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would offer you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what task needs to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer gives unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included in order to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall effectiveness, JLG has made many great feature options.
