JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis to access tight places. The 600 Series features the industry's best work envelope; 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 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 strength and the reach capacity you require regardless of what kind of work has to be completed.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in tight spaces. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site productivity and offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included in order to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option that would help to lessen any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail which 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.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This type of jib can be utilized 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.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also increasing the machines overall efficiency, JLG has designed many great feature options.
