Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best equipment for working on any size of aircraft. This unit offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included in order to enable 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.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This package option provides 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 near the aircraft surface, the operator is warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib can be utilized 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 allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall effectiveness, JLG has made numerous great feature options.
