These machinery provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models will provide you with the strength and the reach capacity you require regardless of what work has to be completed.

Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
Ideal for working on any size of aircraft, the Model 740AJ offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes many safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform can be included so as to allow 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.
Another optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This reduces damage and the risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This package option offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors that de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib would allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This jib could be utilized in both controlled and uncontrolled areas due to steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. 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.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also improving the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has designed numerous great optional features.
