The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which will enable access to tight places. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the power and the reach capacity you need regardless of what job needs to be completed.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch provides unmatched agility in tight spaces. 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 right machine 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 has many safety features that you require 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 still have fall protection while doing so.
Another feature option is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the operator is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This kind of jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. 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 driver as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machinery.
