The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option that would allow access to confined places. The 600 Series showcases 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 machinery provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the reach capacity and the power you require regardless of what task needs 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 offers unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right equipment for working on any size of aircraft. This unit offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features that you require 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 within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features which would help to reduce any damage to the machinery or 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 if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the operator is alerted.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also improving the equipment overall effectiveness, JLG has designed many great feature options.
