JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature a narrow chassis option for access to tight places. The 600 Series features the best work envelope in the business; 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches. These equipment offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the reach capacity and the power you require regardless of what work needs to be done.
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 better and have been redesigned so as to offer more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order 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.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option that would help to lessen any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This particular jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has made many of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machine.
