Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal equipment for working on any aircraft size. This unit provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included so as to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option which would help to reduce any damage to the equipment 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 warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This kind of jib can be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled areas thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An on-board air compressor option allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has made a lot of of these optional features in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machinery.
