The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis which would enable access to tight areas. The 600 Series features the industry's best work envelope; a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would offer you with the power and the reach capacity you require regardless of what job needs to be completed.
To give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms come 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 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
The Model 740AJ is the ideal equipment for working on any size of aircraft. This model provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features that will help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the driver is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This kind of jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has made many of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the machinery.
