The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis which will allow access to confined places. The 600 Series features the industry's best work envelope; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height. These equipment offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units will provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you need no matter what type of job has to be done.
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 confined areas. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site efficiency and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machinery for working on any size of aircraft. This model offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It includes many safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included so as to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of 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 allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also improving the machinery overall effectiveness, JLG has made many great optional features.
