The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis that would enable access to confined places. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the industry; 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units will provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what type of work needs to be done.
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 offers unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order 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 aircraft size. This unit provides 74 feet or 22.6 m 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 included so as to allow 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 whilst doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces 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 that de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is alerted if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This specific jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas because of 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. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has made many of these optional features in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machine.
