The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which would allow access to confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the industry; 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches. These equipment provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units will provide you with the reach capacity and the power you require regardless of what task needs to be done.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer gives unmatched agility in confined areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site productivity and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best equipment for working on any aircraft size. This model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features that will help to lessen any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is alerted if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib could be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled areas due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. 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 operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the equipment.
