It includes numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included so as to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform within a radius of 6 feet, and still have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different optional features which will help to reduce any damage to the machine or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This package option provides a suspended padded rail which surrounds the platform basket.
