The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis which will enable access to tight areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 types of machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units would offer you with the power and the reach capacity you need regardless of what kind of task has to be done.
To give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Giving unmatched agility and confined spaces, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to offer 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 aircraft size. This model offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added 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 still have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features that would 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 that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is alerted if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This particular jib can be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has designed a lot of of these optional features in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the equipment.
