JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight places. The 600 Series showcases the best work envelope within the business; 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m 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 units would provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you need regardless of what type of work has to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site productivity and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could 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 which would help to lessen any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This particular jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. 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.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also increasing the equipment overall effectiveness, JLG has made many great feature options.
