JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis to access confined areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope within the industry; 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 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the reach capacity and the power you need no matter what type of work needs to be done.
To give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Providing unmatched agility and tight areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous 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 an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while 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 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 will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This kind of jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas thanks to 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 utilized. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed many of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall effectiveness of the equipment.
