JLG provides the 600 Series of articulating booms. These units feature an optional narrow chassis for access to tight places.

These machines provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units will provide you with the power and the reach capacity you need no matter what kind of job has to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to offer more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machinery for working on any size of aircraft. This unit offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features that would help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This specific jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. 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 machinery overall efficiency, JLG has designed many great feature options.
