Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ provides 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be added in order to allow you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another feature option that will help to lessen any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package 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 driver is alerted.
Advantages

This jib can be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled places because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. An optional on-board air compressor enables for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be used. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has made many of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the machine.
