These machinery provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds as well. Combined with a 60 foot platform height, these units would offer you with the reach capacity and the power you need regardless of what task needs to be done.

The platform controls are better and have been redesigned in order to offer more controlled operation and be smoother for job site efficiency.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the ideal machine for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over 15 m or 51 feet of outreach. It includes numerous safety features which you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could 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 continue to have fall protection while doing so.
One more optional feature is the Soft Touch System. This lessens damage and the risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option offers 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 warned.
Advantages
The articulating jib will enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This jib can be used in both uncontrolled and controlled areas 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.
In order to make the driver as safe as possible, while also increasing the machinery overall efficiency, JLG has made numerous great feature options.
