These types of equipment provide dual rated capacities of 1000 pounds and 500 pounds as well. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these units will offer you with the strength and the reach capacity you need no matter what job has to be completed.
To give you excellent drive and performance on rough terrain, these articulating booms are available with optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axles. Providing unmatched agility and confined areas, are the optional 4-wheel steer and 3-position switch.

Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the right equipment for working on any aircraft size. This model offers 74 feet or 22.6 m of height and over fifteen 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 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.
One more feature option is the Soft Touch System. This reduces the risk of any accidental contact and damage in aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the driver is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Benefits
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This particular jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor allows 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 equipment overall efficiency, JLG has designed numerous great feature options.
