JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis to access confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the business; a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These types of machines 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 power you require no matter what kind of job needs to be completed.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Providing unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site productivity and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right equipment for working on any aircraft size. This model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included in order to enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This package option 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 driver is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This particular jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed many of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the equipment.
