JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis to access 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 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These kinds of machines provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would offer you with the strength and the reach capacity you require regardless of what task has to be completed.
To give you excellent drive and performance 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 better and have been redesigned so as to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 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 enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option which would help to lessen any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the driver is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This 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 enables 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 improve overall effectiveness of the machine.
