JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight places. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope in the business; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These kinds 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 strength and the reach capacity you require regardless of what type of job needs to be done.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Offering 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 be smoother for job site productivity and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machinery for working on any aircraft size. This model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features that you need 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 in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
Another 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 that de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This kind of jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option allows 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 improving the machinery overall effectiveness, JLG has designed many great feature options.
