JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature a narrow chassis option for access to tight places. The 600 Series features 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 types of machinery offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the reach capacity and the power you need no matter what task needs to be completed.
To give you exceptional 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 efficiency and offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included so as to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
One more feature option is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage 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 the operator is warned if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas due to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also increasing the machines overall efficiency, JLG has made many great optional features.
