The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which would allow access to tight areas. The 600 Series features the industry's best work envelope; 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 kinds of machinery offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the power and the reach capacity you require no matter what type of work has to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer provides unmatched agility in tight spaces. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site productivity and offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal equipment for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in 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 reduce any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib enables for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas because of 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 equipment overall efficiency, JLG has made many great optional features.
