JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight places. The 600 Series features the best work envelope within the industry; 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you require regardless of what kind of work needs to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer provides unmatched agility in confined areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has 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 a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
Another feature option is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage in aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the operator is warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This kind of jib can be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled places due 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.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also increasing the machines overall efficiency, JLG has made many great feature options.
