Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best machine for working on any aircraft size. This unit 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 require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 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 another optional features which will help to lessen any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option 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 driver is alerted.
Benefits
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This specific jib could 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 enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. 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 machinery overall effectiveness, JLG has designed many great optional features.
