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 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m. These machinery offer dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the power and the reach capacity you need no matter what type of task needs to be completed.
To give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Offering unmatched agility and confined areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch. The platform controls are better and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site efficiency and give more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right equipment for working on any aircraft size. This model provides 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 require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included in order to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to 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 package option offers 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 operator is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This specific 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 enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also improving the machines overall efficiency, JLG has made numerous great optional features.
