JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature a narrow chassis option for access to tight places. The 600 Series features the best work envelope within the industry; 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 as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the reach capacity and the power you need regardless of what kind of work needs to be done.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Providing unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site productivity and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added so as to enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option that would help to lessen any damage to the machinery 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 which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the operator is alerted.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This specific jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed many of these optional features in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machinery.
