Introducing SkyGuard™: Enhanced Control Panel Protection
|
|
|
After extensive research and testing, SkyGuard is the latest innovation from JLG that provides operators with enhanced control panel protection that doesn’t limit platform workspace or visibility. 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. SkyGuard is just another way we’re reaching out to provide additional protection while enhancing operator productivity.

| Access Suppliers Reaching Brazil |
|
Aerial work platforms are increasing in popularity in Brazil thanks to its recently passed NRA18 regulation — an OSHA-type standard for working safely at heights. This was perfect timing since all types of access equipment were on display at the M&T Expo. One of the show’s themes, as it related to AWPs and telehandlers, was the transitioning from phase 1 to phase 2 of “Minha Casa Minha Vida” (My House My Life), which is the Brazilian government's social housing initiative for low-middle income families. Read on for the full report.
