The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option which would allow 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 equipment offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models will provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you need regardless of what type of job has to be completed.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer provides unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to offer more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included in order to enable 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 whilst doing so.
One more feature option is the Soft Touch System. This reduces damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which 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 driver is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib enables for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This particular jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places thanks to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. 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 many of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machine.
