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 numerous 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 a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.

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.
Advantages

This kind of jib can be used 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 utilized. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
