Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Great for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 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 allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different optional features that would help to reduce any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact 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 close to 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 type of 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 optional on-board air compressor allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
