The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis that would allow access to tight areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope in the industry; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These kinds of equipment offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what work has to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch provides unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site productivity and offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best machine for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added 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 continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This kind of jib can be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled areas due to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has made many of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machinery.
