Total Cost of Telehandler Ownership Drops with New Engine Maintenance Intervals

JLG® and SkyTrak® telehandlers in North America equipped with Cummins QSF3.8 diesel engines now have longer recommended service intervals, meaning less downtime and lower overall maintenance costs. The synthetic oil used in Cummins QSF3.8 diesel engines cuts time spent changing oil, oil filters and fuel filters in half.

To make the most of the increased uptime, owners and equipment managers should keep the following in mind:

• Extended service intervals apply to JLG and SkyTrak telehandlers equipped with Cummins QSF3.8 diesel engines.
• Initial oil changes should still be completed at 500 hours (or one year). After that, every oil change should be completed at 1,000 hours (or one year).*

With this reduction in total cost of ownership, owning a JLG or SkyTrak telehandler just pushed your team’s performance to new heights. If you have any questions about these changes or how to get the parts you need, contact your Regional Sales or Service Manager or contact us.
