JLG® Visual Remote Assistant Enhances Technical Support, Helps Reduce Equipment Downtime
Mar 26, 2026
McConnellsburg, PA (March 26, 2026) — JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business [NYSE:OSK] and a leading global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, announces the new JLG® Visual Remote Assistant, an innovative technical support solution designed to help technicians more efficiently troubleshoot equipment, improve uptime and deliver an enhanced service experience. The Visual Remote Assistant enables JLG technical support experts to connect directly with technicians in the field through a live, real-time visual session using a smartphone or mobile device. By accessing a secure link sent via text or email, technicians can instantly share their view of the equipment with JLG support professionals — no apps or downloads required.
“Every minute of downtime impacts productivity and profitability,” says Travis Myers, director of customer support, JLG. “The Visual Remote Assistant allows our team to see exactly what technicians are seeing, enabling faster diagnosis, clearer guidance and more efficient resolution of service issues.”
Real-Time Visual Support Improves Efficiency
Traditional phone-based troubleshooting can lead to guesswork and longer service calls. The Visual Remote Assistant allows JLG technical support representatives to provide step-by-step visual guidance during a live session. Support agents can remotely circle, or point to components on the technician’s device screen, helping quickly identify critical issues that may be difficult to find.
Visual Remote Assistant is simple and easy to use; the intuitive interface requires minimal training. After joining a session and granting camera access, technicians have JLG support agents with them to guide them to specific component locations and provide visual cues to help diagnose issues in real time, thereby resolving issues more accurately, improving first-call resolution rates and reducing repeat service calls.
The JLG Visual Remote Assistant reinforces JLG’s commitment to supporting customers across the entire equipment lifecycle. By leveraging advanced technology to improve service capabilities, JLG helps customers maintain higher equipment uptime, improve operational efficiency and maximize return on equipment investment.
“By providing visual confirmation and guidance, the Visual Remote Assistant helps technicians identify and resolve problems more quickly, reducing machine downtime and minimizing unnecessary service visits,” says Myers.
JLG’s Visual Remote Assistant capability is currently available for customers in North America; performance may vary depending on the mobile device and connectivity.
