JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis to access confined areas. The 600 Series showcases the industry's best work envelope; a horizontal outreach of 12.12 m or 39 feet, 9 inches and 26 feet, 7 inches or 8.1 m up and over height. These types of machines offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require no matter what work needs to be completed.
To give you excellent performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Offering unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. 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
The Model 740AJ is the best equipment for working on any size of aircraft. This model offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or fifty one feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 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 that will help to reduce any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the driver is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This type of jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has made a lot of of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the machine.
