These types of machines provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units would offer you with the reach capacity and the power you require no matter what type of work has to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer provides unmatched agility in confined areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to be smoother for job site efficiency and provide more controlled operation.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ provides 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has many safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added so as 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.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage in aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that 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 jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places 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.
JLG has designed a lot of of these feature options in order to make the driver as safe as possible and to improve overall effectiveness of the machinery.
