JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis to access confined areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope in 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 types of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what task has to be completed.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Offering unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are better 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 size of aircraft, 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 which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces damage and the risk of any accidental contact in 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 near the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also improving the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has made many great optional features.
