The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis which will allow access to confined areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope in the industry; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height. These kinds of machinery offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you need regardless of what job has to be completed.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Offering unmatched agility and tight 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 equipment for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added 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 whilst doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact in 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 the driver is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This type of jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas thanks to 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. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has made numerous great optional features.
