The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis which would allow access to confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height and a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches. These kinds of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the strength and the reach capacity you need no matter what job has to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch offers unmatched agility in tight spaces. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site efficiency and offer more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machinery for working on any aircraft size. This unit offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order 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 whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option which will help to lessen any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package 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 will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of 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 made many of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machine.
