JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight areas. The 600 Series showcases 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 types of machines offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require no matter what type of job needs to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer gives unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best equipment for working on any size of aircraft. This unit provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order to enable 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.
One more feature option is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the driver is alerted.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib can be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. 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 improving the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has made many great optional features.
