JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option to access tight places. 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would offer you with the reach capacity and the power you need regardless of what type of work has to be done.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Giving unmatched agility and confined areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are improved 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 right machinery for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included 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.
Another optional feature 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 the operator is alerted if the basket comes too close to 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 thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has made many of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machinery.
