JLG launches EN15000:2008 Compliant Control System for Telehandlers

JLG Launches Control System for Telehandlers

“JLG developed an innovative progressive cut-out system - currently patent pending - that prevents the operator from exceeding the machine’s longitudinal stability capabilities in both static and dynamic conditions. Significant effort has gone into the design of the system to ensure minimal impact on machine productivity”, says Brian Boeckman, Global Director Product Management for Telehandlers at JLG Industries,Inc. 

JLG telehandlers monitor the loading of the rear axle to determine the machines longitudinal stability. This information is communicated to the operator by a display in the cab. When the system senses reduced loads on the rear axle, the operator is informed via the display and the lift up function or telescope - out function are restricted in speed, or if necessary cut out altogether. On machines with maximum lift heights of less than 10m, which can frequently be used with buckets, JLG employs this system when the operator has indicated that he does not intend to drive the machine. 

JLG manufactures telehandlers for industrial, building and construction applications. In total, JLG has 13 JLG branded telehandler models available.
