The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which will enable access to confined places. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope in the industry; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height. These machinery offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the power and the reach capacity you require no matter what type of job has to be completed.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer provides unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great 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 which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to 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 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 warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This kind of jib can be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor enables 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 improving the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has made numerous great optional features.
