JLG Industries, an Oshkosh Corporation business and a global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, released its latest white paper, “Built to Rent, Ready to Work: Why Owners and Operators Choose Compact Telehandlers.” As jobsites evolve, becoming more constrained, diversified and efficiency-focused, rental companies need equipment that can deliver maximum utility with minimal footprint. Compact telehandlers, with rated lift capacities of 6,000 pounds and under, are meeting this demand by combining maneuverability, lift performance and multi-phase jobsite utility in one machine.
Insights from the white paper
JLG’s latest whitepaper analyzes the market forces shaping the growing demand for compact telehandlers. With construction increasingly taking place in tight urban spaces and residential environments, compact telehandlers have become a vital tool. Their small footprint and maneuverability allow them to operate where larger machines can’t, without sacrificing lifting capacity.
Growth in residential and light commercial construction, along with the need to minimize operating costs, is fueling demand for equipment that can do it all. Compact telehandlers meet this need by replacing multiple machines with one multi-phase jobsite performer, according to the company.
Product innovation and customer experiences
JLG and SkyTrak compact telehandlers aim to provide lift height, forward reach and terrainability. Their broad application range and attachment compatibility make them adaptable across industries, from general construction and landscaping to event support and maintenance work.
The whitepaper features real-world testimonials and expert insights on how compact telehandlers, from ultra-compact JLG E313 and SkyTrak 3013 to higher-capacity models like the JLG 519 and SkyTrak 6034/6042, are boosting performance expectations. Each is engineered to maximize performance in its class, delivering features meeting the evolving demands of modern jobsites. Rental companies report increased utilization, reduced logistics costs and higher customer satisfaction due to these machines’ versatility and reliability.
