JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option for access to confined 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you need no matter what work needs 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 optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right equipment for working on any aircraft size. This unit offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could 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 whilst doing so.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces 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 which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to 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 could be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled areas due to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. 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 effectiveness of the equipment.
