JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option for access to tight places. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches and 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height. These types of machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the power and the reach capacity you need no matter what type of job has to be completed.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Providing unmatched agility and confined spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. 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
Ideal 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 includes many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added 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 still have fall protection whilst doing so.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail which 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 allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas due to 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. 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 effectiveness of the machine.
