The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option that would enable access to confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height. These machines offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what job has to be completed.
To give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Giving unmatched agility and confined areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal equipment for working on any aircraft size. This model provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included so as to enable 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 while doing so.
One more feature option is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage in 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.
Advantages
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This type of jib can be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled places thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. 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 optional features in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the machinery.
