The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis that will allow access to confined places. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the business; 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the power and the reach capacity you need regardless of what type of work needs to be completed.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Providing unmatched agility and tight areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to offer more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right equipment for working on any size of aircraft. This unit provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to enable 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.
One more feature option is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage 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 operator is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This specific jib can be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled places due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has made many great optional features.
