JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option to access confined places. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m. These types of machines offer 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 strength you need regardless of what task has to be completed.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch provides unmatched agility in confined areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to provide 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 size of aircraft. This unit provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added so as to allow 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 the risk of any accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail that 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.
Benefits
The articulating jib enables for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This type of jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also improving the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has designed many great optional features.
