Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best machinery for working on any size of aircraft. This unit offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as 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 whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features which will help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact in 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 alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib enables for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This kind of jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas due to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor allows 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 increasing the equipment overall effectiveness, JLG has made numerous great feature options.
