JLG's scissor Aviation Pack

JLG has introduced an ANSI certified Aviation Pack for its 26ft ES2646 electric scissor lifts, aimed at avoiding contact with the aircraft fuselage in manufacturing and maintenance environments.

The Aviation Pack in corporates ultrasonic detection using high frequency sound waves and Lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) technology to create all round sensing coverage for the lift, helping prevent physical contact by providing sensing zones, warning indicators and a powered deck extension.

The machine includes four Lidar sensors that form a protective curtain below the platform, with dynamic sensing zones that adjust based on platform height. The system also features full-size gates for improved access, and an integrated airline for tools etc.

At this stage the pack is only certified to ANSI standards, and thus not yet available in Europe.
