Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machinery for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added 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 still have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features that will help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact in 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 the driver is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This type of jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. 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 machines overall efficiency, JLG has made numerous great optional features.
