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 over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many 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 a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features which would help to lessen any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail that 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 operator is warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib enables for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This particular jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas thanks to steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. 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 machines overall effectiveness, JLG has made many great feature options.
