The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option that would allow access to confined areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope within the business; 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches. These kinds of 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 reach capacity and the power you need no matter what work needs to be done.
To give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Providing unmatched agility and confined areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machine for working on any size of aircraft. This model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order to allow 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.
Another feature option is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage 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 the operator is alerted if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This kind of jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has designed many of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the equipment.
