The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which will enable access to confined places. The 600 Series features the best work envelope in 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 kinds of machines provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units will provide you with the power and the reach capacity you require no matter what work needs to be completed.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional 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 better and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site efficiency and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added 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 still have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option which would help to reduce any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This kind of jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also increasing the equipment overall efficiency, JLG has made numerous great feature options.
