The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which would enable access to confined areas. The 600 Series features 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 kinds of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units would offer you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what kind of work needs to be done.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in confined areas. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
Another feature option is the Soft Touch System. This reduces damage and the risk of any accidental contact in 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 driver is warned if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib enables for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This specific jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has designed a lot of of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall effectiveness of the machinery.
