JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature a narrow chassis option to access confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the industry; a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These equipment provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you require no matter what work needs to be done.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to offer more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machinery for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact 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 operator is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This specific jib could be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also improving the machines overall effectiveness, JLG has designed many great feature options.
