JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis to access confined places. The 600 Series features the industry's best work envelope; 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 machines provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you require no matter what task has to be completed.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Giving unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site productivity and offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best machine for working on any size of aircraft. This unit provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you need 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 still have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option that will help to lessen any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail which 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.
Advantages
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This particular jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has made a lot of of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the equipment.
