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 more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included in order to allow 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 optional features which will 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 that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the operator is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas due to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also improving the equipment overall efficiency, JLG has made many great feature options.
