It has many safety features that you require when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be added so as to enable you to exit the platform and move an entire 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection whilst doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different optional features that will help to lessen any damage to the machinery or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket.

Benefits
The articulating jib will allow the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any kind of aircraft. This specific 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 on-board air compressor option allows the use of pneumatic-powered hand tools. The Fall Arrest adds safety when performing maintenance outside of the platform.
