IPAF Introduces eLearning Module for Aerial Work Platforms
|
|
IPAF has successfully trialed a new eLearning module as part of its established AWPT training program for U.S. operators of aerial work platforms (AWPs). The online eLearning module allows trainees to complete the theory portion of the AWPT course any time and at their own pace. Trainees who complete the online session must still pass a supervised theory test at an AWPT-approved training center and must successfully complete a half-day of practical training and testing before being issued with a PAL Card (Powered Access Licensed-Registration) as proof of successfully completed AWPT operator training.

Enhanced Control Panel Protection with SkyGuard™ Aftermarket Accessory
|
JLG boom lift operators are experiencing enhanced control panel protection thanks to the recent addition of SkyGuard™ to the aftermarket accessory lineup. When activated by approximately 50 lb (23kg) of force, SkyGuard stops all functions in use at the time. The reverse functionality momentarily “undoes” most functions that were in use at the time of activation for less than a second’s worth of time. This is the only feature of its kind in the market today.
Learn more about SkyGuard.
Features
- SkyGuard can be activated from a variety of angles and provides additional protection without impeding or reducing the work envelope of the boom lift
- With no movable parts, there’s no need for scheduled or additional maintenance
- Break away feature for extreme conditions
- Resets by cycling foot switch or e-stop
- Does not increase the platform profile or limit the use of the platform
- SkyGuard can be installed on combustion-powered JLG® boom lifts* manufactured after 2004
*Not available on the 600SC and 150HAX.
