JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope within the industry; a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches and 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches 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 reach capacity and the power you need no matter what type of job has to be done.
To give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Providing unmatched agility and confined areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site efficiency and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 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 require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to enable 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 while doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the driver is warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This specific jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed a lot of of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machine.
