Hoofddorp, The Netherlands — January 29, 2013 — JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation company [NYSE:OSK] and a leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telescopic material handlers announces the availability of the 740AJ articulating boom lift for the European market.
The JLG 740AJ boom lift is purposely built to perform maintenance on and around aircraft. Equipped with an articulating jib, it offers precise positioning allowing operators to access a wide variety of aircraft surfaces.
As standard, the 740AJ is equipped with a railing to which the user will clip their own fall arrest harness. This enables operators to work a full 270 degrees around the outside of the platform while remaining tethered within a 1.83m. Thanks to this system, an operating envelope of 5.65 m x 4.35 m around the platform can be reached, which equates to 19.5m2 of total work area.
In addition, the 740AJ meets the industry jet blast standard ARP1328 that takes wind gusts up to 90 mph into consideration, enabling the machine to be placed in most air side operating areas around the terminal.
Furthermore, the 740AJ can be equipped with a Soft Touch option which reduces the risk of accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This features a padded sensing rail below the platform that cuts function operation when activated.
The 740AJ offers a maximum working height of 24.60 m with a horizontal outreach of 15.80 m at an up and over height of 7.65m. The 1.83 m jib has a vertical articulation range of 130 degrees.
For additional information about the 740AJ, visit the JLG stand in April at F9 / 904/5. For more information about JLG®, visit www.jlgeurope.com.
