JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis to access confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 machines provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what task has to be completed.
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 provides unmatched agility in tight spaces. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ provides 22.6 m or 74 feet 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 in order to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 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 a different optional features which would help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This type of jib can be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled places because of 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 feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machinery.
