Reach New Heights with IJ26 Insulating Personnel Jib
As the electrical grid becomes more heavily stressed and outages become more expensive, the ability to work on electrical lines while keeping them energized is becoming more important than ever before. Compatible with the AC40E and AC45E, Altec’s new IJ26 Category A Insulating Personnel Jib allows for live-line work at new heights.
The jib allows for service of a 500 KV line with a barehand work application. When added to the AC40E, this jib creates Altec’s highest reaching insulating aerial device, giving operators the ability to accomplish live line transmission work practices at higher heights.
Easy Integration with Quick-Attach Aluminum Platform
The IJ26 insulated personnel jib seamlessly integrates with the aluminum two-person quick-attach platform. This platform is rated for up to 1,200 pounds of capacity and includes an additional grounding system to ensure continuity. The platform can be mounted on both the IJ26 as well as on the main boom tip with no modifications.
Four Pinning Offset Positions
The IJ26 is quickly offset into either the 0-, 15-, 30- or 45-degree positions via a single pin. Gently placing the jib tip on the ground allows for the pin to be unloaded and easily moved between offset positions. The use of a wheel at the jib tip prevents the jib from contacting the ground, preventing the risk of damage to the jib.
In-Cab Leakage Monitoring
The IJ26 includes a current leakage monitor mounted inside the cab. A current leakage monitoring system is critical for continual monitoring of current leakage while approaching, bonding on to and working on energized lines, ensuring the dielectric properties of the IJ26 are maintained throughout the use of the system.
