Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to enable 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 which would help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the operator is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib could be utilized 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. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has made many of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall efficiency of the equipment.
