JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature a narrow chassis option to access tight areas. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the industry; 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 too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units will provide you with the reach capacity and the power you require no matter what work needs to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch offers unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best machine for working on any size of aircraft. This unit offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included so as to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 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 during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail which 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 warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib enables for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places due to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has made a lot of of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machine.
