The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which would allow access to confined places. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 equipment offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the power and the reach capacity you need regardless of what task has to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch provides unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site efficiency and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machine for working on any size of aircraft. This unit provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or fifty one feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as 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.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features which would help to lessen any damage to the equipment or 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 if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the driver is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This type of jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. 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.
JLG has made a lot of of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the equipment.
