Some JLG telehandlers can now be operated from outside the cab with the company's new remote-control boom.
The device is designed to give operators better visibility while placing loads at height. It could also eliminate the need for two people on a loading operation in which one is typically in the cab and another directs placement of the material onto a building.
The remote control can perform the following operations wirelessly: start the engine; raise, lower, extend and retract the boom; tilt fork up and down; and auxiliary hydraulics.
The device can also be operated from a fork-mounted work platform with a platform docking station, which provides a stable surface to magnetically mount the remote-control box.
The remote-control boom is available for JLG's 1644, 1732 and 1075 telehandlers.
