JLG offers the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis to access 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 machinery offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you need no matter what work needs to be completed.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Giving unmatched agility and confined areas, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site efficiency and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great 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 many safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order to enable 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.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces damage and the risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has made many of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the equipment.
