Skyguard now standard on JLG booms

JLG has completed its plans to make the SkyGuard secondary guarding system standard equipment across its full range of boom lifts in line with its announcement last April.

“This is another step forward for JLG in its ongoing effort to enhance our products,” said Paul Kreutzwiser, JLG’s global AWP category director. “After working to continuously improve SkyGuard, JLG has now made it a standard feature and is included in the price of the machine. When activated the SkyGuard system stops all functions in use at the time, then temporarily reverses or undoes most functions that were in use when the system was activated. This reverse functionality is the only feature of its kind in the market.”

The SkyGuard control panel protection system is now standard equipment across all JLG boom lifts.

The SkyGuard can be activated from a variety of angles and provides additional protection without reducing the work envelope of the boom lift. The system resets by a cycling foot switch or emergency stop button.

SkyGuard kits are available for retroft for specific models of boom lifts.
