The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis which would allow access to tight areas. The 600 Series features 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the reach capacity and the power you require regardless of what job needs to be done.
To give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Providing unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. 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 ideal machine for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order to enable 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.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option which would help to lessen any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers 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 close to the aircraft surface, the operator is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib enables for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has made many great feature options.
