It includes numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included in order to enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is another optional features which would help to reduce any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact in aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is warned if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This type of jib could be used in both controlled and uncontrolled areas due to 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.
