Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right machinery for working on any size of aircraft. This model provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than fifteen m or fifty one feet of outreach. It has many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could 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 while doing so.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage in aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers 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.
Advantages
The articulating jib enables for more access and precise positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This particular jib can be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas due to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An on-board air compressor option allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
