JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis for access to confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches. These equipment offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the reach capacity and the power you require regardless of what type of job needs to be completed.
To give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Giving unmatched agility and confined spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to offer 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 provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included 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 continue to have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features which will help to lessen any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the operator is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This type of jib could be utilized 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. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has designed many of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall effectiveness of the machinery.
