Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best machinery for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included in order to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 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 equipment or risk of any accidental contact 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 if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the operator is warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib allows for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled places thanks to 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. 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 machines overall effectiveness, JLG has designed many great optional features.
