Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best equipment for working on any size of aircraft. This model offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option which will help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail which 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.
Advantages
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This specific jib can be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled places because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. 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 improve overall effectiveness of the equipment.
