Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included in order to enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option which would help to lessen any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib can be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the operator as safe as possible, while also improving the machines overall efficiency, JLG has designed many great optional features.
