JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These models feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight places. 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 machines provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you need no matter what task needs to be done.
To give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Providing unmatched agility and tight spaces, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. 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
Great for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you need 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 still have fall protection whilst doing so.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage 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 close to the aircraft surface, the operator is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This kind of jib can be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled places because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor allows 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 feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the machine.
