The 600 Series of articulating booms provided by JLG, feature a narrow chassis option that will enable access to tight places. The 600 Series features 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 provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will offer you with the power and the reach capacity you need regardless of what job needs to be done.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer provides unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included 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 continue to have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option which will 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 that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the driver is alerted.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib could be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled places thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. 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.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also increasing the equipment overall effectiveness, JLG has made numerous great optional features.
