The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option that will enable access to confined areas. The 600 Series features the best work envelope within the industry; 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 provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units would provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require no matter what kind of work has to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch offers unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machinery for working on any size of aircraft. This unit provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order to enable 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 while doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage in 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 operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This specific jib could be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled areas due to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has designed a lot of of these optional features in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machine.
