The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis that would allow access to tight places. The 600 Series features the best work envelope within the industry; 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 kinds of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the power and the reach capacity you require no matter what kind of job needs to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site efficiency and offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machine for working on any size of aircraft. This unit offers 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 require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
Another feature option is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the driver is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This kind of jib could be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled places due to 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 used. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also improving the equipment overall efficiency, JLG has designed numerous great feature options.
