JLG (Jerger) insures for high altitude safety

In order to improve the safety of high-altitude operations, after numerous sophisticated research and experiments, JLG final in 2012 successfully developed a SkyGuard ® operating personnel protection systems, and will serve as an innovative aftermarket parts used in its arm Equipment (adaptable to most of the equipment produced after 2004). In July 2016, JLG first time SkyGuard ® protection system as standardized parts, used in Europe, Australia and New Zealand Order of aerial work platforms. Today, JLG applies the system to all arm-type aerial work platforms worldwide, and it is undoubtedly a solid step forward in the field of high-altitude operations.

The SkyGuard® operator protection system is an important line of defense for operating personnel on aerial work platforms. It provides a safer operating environment for aerial work platform operators without affecting the platform operation space, platform load capacity, and operator vision. . The SkyGuard® sensing device is installed in front of the operating panel of the aerial work platform. Once an external force of approximately 23 kg is applied at any angle, the SkyGuard® system will be activated instantaneously and the equipment will immediately stop all operations. At the same time, the components will be reversed. Logical order reverse action. This reverse-action function is unique in the high-altitude equipment market. In addition, when subjected to extreme external forces, the sensing device will automatically flip over to provide the operator with more room to operate. After the SkyGuard® system is activated, a hazard alarm and a blinking blue alarm light will sound at the same time to remind other employees present to improve their safety awareness. Thanks to the use of non-removable parts, SkyGuard® does not require regular or additional maintenance.

The picture shows that when Skyguard is under external force (about 23 kg), the equipment will immediately stop all operations.
At the same time, the components will perform reverse actions in reversed logical order.

“At the same time that high-altitude platforms replace scaffolds to significantly improve the safety of construction operations, we must pay more attention to the potential risk factors of operators in the operation of high-altitude platforms.” Mr. Wu Xiaolu, Director of Marketing of Asia at JLG, solemnly stated, “This is also ours. It is considered necessary to use the SkyGuard® operator protection system as a standard on the global JLG boom type aerial work platform."

With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's safety awareness, the application of aerial work platforms has become increasingly widespread. The industry is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. JLG has always been adhering to the "customer-first" service concept, is committed to innovation-driven development of the aerial work platform industry, to build a reliable, safe and efficient working environment for high-altitude construction workers. This time SkyGuard® is standard on the JLG boom-type aerial work platform and promotes the SkyGuard® operator protection system on a global scale. It is undoubtedly an additional safety line to ensure high-altitude operations, and once again takes an innovative design in the industry. Forefront, injecting a constant stream of vitality into the aerial platform industry. (This article comes from Jerger)
