Exclusively available from JLG, SkyGuard offers enhanced control panel protection on JLG® boom lifts.
Operators can experience enhanced control panel protection SkyGuard, now available on most JLG® boom lifts. Developed after extensive research and testing, the SkyGuard sensor, when activated by approximately 50 lb (23 kg) of force, stops all functions in use at the time.
The reverse functionality is the only feature of its kind in the market. After stopping the machine, it temporarily reverses, or “undoes,” most functions that were in use at the time of activation for less than a second’s worth of time. The control system automatically accesses the functions in use by the operator at the time of SkyGuard activation and – for a small period of time – is able to reverse that sequence, with the exception of certain functions.
