The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis that will allow access to 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units would offer you with the reach capacity and the power you need no matter what type of task has to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer offers unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features that 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.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has designed a lot of of these optional features in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machine.
