Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machine for working on any aircraft size. This unit provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order to allow you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib enables for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This particular jib could 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 allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has designed many of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall effectiveness of the equipment.
