These machinery offer dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would offer you with the reach capacity and the strength you require regardless of what job needs to be completed.
The standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain. The optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch gives unmatched agility in tight areas. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
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 over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added in order to allow 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.
Another feature option is the Soft Touch System. This lessens the risk of any accidental contact and damage during aircraft maintenance. This optional package provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface, the driver is warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib enables for more access and accurate positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This jib could be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled 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 used. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
JLG has made many of these optional features in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to increase overall effectiveness of the equipment.
