ClearSky now available as aftermarket product

After releasing its telematics hardware system ClearSky in 2009, JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corp. company, announced the kit is now available as an aftermarket installation for fleet management.

Equipment fitted with ClearSky can be remotely monitored for diagnostics and fault finding. If there's an issue, the service engineer can either talk the user through the resolution or know sahead of time which part to bring to the repair. The machine can be re-set remotely or even disabled.

"ClearSky provides rental companies with the assurance that their fleet is operating productively and if there is a problem, ClearSky will help these companies remotely diagnose it," said Chris Mellott, JLG Industries vice president, sales and market development for the Americas. "With the launch of these aftermarket ClearSky kits, JLG has made a powerful new tool available for both new and existing rental fleet units."

ClearSky offers preventative maintenance reminders, maintenance history, geo fencing and the ability to map all fleet assets locally, regionally and nationally.
