McConnellsburg, Pa. — Feb. 28, 2014 — JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation company [NYSE:OSK] and a global leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telescopic material handlers, today introduced the new 3614RS and 4017RS telehandlers, which will be displayed at CONEXPO 2014, booth #1037, in Las Vegas. The rental spec telehandlers are designed specifically for the Europe/Africa/Middle East (EAME) rental markets and emerging markets in Latin America and Asia. 

“We are excited to introduce the truly remarkable new JLG 3614RS and 4017RS telehandlers to our customers, which were designed for the rental market by the rental market,” said Brian Boeckman, JLG Industries global product director – telehandlers. “Operators will immediately appreciate the machine’s’ simple, comfortable cab, which includes single joystick controls, enhanced visibility from the cabin, and a mechanical suspension seat – all for enhanced comfort and productivity.”

What’s more, the JLG 3614RS and 4017RS telehandlers have straightforward service and maintenance requirements, making them an attractive addition to any rental fleet. The machines’ cab can be cleaned by a pressure-washer before the machine is rented to another customer. Service is simplified with access to the external telescope cylinder and electronics located outside rather than inside the boom. A single compensation lift cylinder requires less service and fewer leak points.

These service benefits contribute to a lower cost of ownership, along with a low acquisition cost and the ability to transport two machines on one truck. The telehandlers’ proven power train, featuring Dana axles and transmission with a Deutz engine, and boom technology that uses a four plate box design, also contribute to the machine’s reliability.

The JLG 3614RS and 4017RS telehandlers feature a 3,600kg maximum lift capacity and a 14m maximum lift height and a 4,000kg maximum lift capacity and 17m maximum lift height, respectively.

“Added comfort, improved serviceability and a lower cost of ownership come together in the JLG 3614RS and 4017RS, making this telehandler an ideal machine for rental fleets looking for value,” said Boeckman.
