The 600 Series features 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 equipment provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will provide you with the reach capacity and the strength you require no matter what job needs to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to be smoother for job site productivity and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best machinery for working on any size of aircraft. This model provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included so as to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option that would help to reduce any damage to the machine 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 which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This specific jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has designed a lot of of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall effectiveness of the machinery.
