JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis to access tight areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope in the industry; a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These machines provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the power and the reach capacity you need no matter what task has to be done.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site efficiency and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machinery for working on any size of aircraft. This unit provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order to allow 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 whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option that would help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which 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 operator is warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib enables for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This particular jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. 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 operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machine.
