Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best equipment for working on any size of aircraft. This unit offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface, the operator is warned.
Benefits
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any type of aircraft. This jib could be used in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. 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.
