JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m. These types of machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you need regardless of what work needs to be done.
To give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Offering unmatched agility and confined spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. 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
Ideal for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ provides 74 feet or 22.6 m 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 an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option which will help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers 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 warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This type of jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed many of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the machinery.
