The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option that would 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 machinery provide 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 reach capacity and the power you need no matter what type of job needs to be done.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms come with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Providing unmatched agility and confined areas, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
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 includes numerous safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option which would help to reduce any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact 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 the operator is alerted if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This particular jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed many of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machinery.
