Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machine for working on any size of aircraft. This unit offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features that 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 continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
One more feature option is the Soft Touch System. This reduces damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This jib can be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled places thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed a lot of of these optional features in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the equipment.
