The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis which would allow access to tight places. 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 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m. These machines provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the reach capacity and the power you require no matter what task needs to be completed.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Providing unmatched agility and tight areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site efficiency and offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
Another feature option is the Soft Touch System. This lessens 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 driver is alerted.
Advantages
The articulating jib enables for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This kind of jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed many of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machine.
