These kinds of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these models would provide you with the power and the reach capacity you need regardless of what type of work has to be done.
To give you exceptional drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with standard oscillating axle and optional 4-wheel drive. Giving unmatched agility and tight areas, are the 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned so as to give more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any aircraft size, the Model 740AJ offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and more than 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features that you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added so as to enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features that will help to lessen any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too near the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This specific jib can be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled areas because of steady winds, 90 mph gusts and jet blast standards of 80 mph. 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 feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the machine.
