These prestigious honors recognize JLG for technology leadership in the Robotics and Construction & Industrial Tech categories
McConnellsburg, PA (November 5, 2025) — JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business [NYSE:OSK] and a leading global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, has been recognized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® with a CES Innovation Awards® Best of Innovation award in the Robotics category. JLG was also named as a CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Construction and Industrial Tech category. The winning entry — a JLG® Boom Lift with Robotic End Effector concept machine — will be demonstrated in the Oshkosh Corporation booth, LVCC West Hall - #4418, at the CES 2026 show, January 6-9, in Las Vegas, NV.
The JLG Boom Lift with Robotic End Effector offers a look at how traditional lift equipment can be transformed into autonomous, job-performing robots capable of executing complex elevated tasks such as welding, inspection or installation. Designed for industrial environments, the JLG Boom Lift with Robotic End Effector combines robotic manipulators, AI-guided control and multi-sensor perception into a rugged, mobile platform. It autonomously navigates, positions and performs work at height with precision, either independently or in coordinated fleets. The system integrates with digital twins and job site management platforms, creating a scalable robotic solution for connected, semi-structured outdoor environments that redefines what is possible in construction robotics.
“We’re honored that JLG has been recognized with a CES Innovation Awards Best of Innovation award and as a CES Innovation Awards Honoree for our Boom Lift with Robotic End Effector concept,” says Shashank Bhatia, chief technology officer and global vice president of engineering, JLG. “At JLG, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of technology — from electrification and connectivity to safety and sustainability. Every innovation we develop begins with listening to our customers, understanding the challenges they face every day on the job site and designing solutions that help them work safely, intelligently, sustainably and efficiently. These awards are a testament to our dedication to delivering solutions that reimagine what’s possible on job sites.”
The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association, is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in 36 tech product categories. This year the program received a record number of submissions — over 3,600. Those with the highest score in each category receive the “Best of Innovation” distinction. An elite panel of industry expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions.
In addition to the two JLG awards, Oshkosh also won a CES Innovation Awards Best of Innovation award in the Travel and Tourism Category for its Oshkosh Airport Products Striker® Volterra™ Electric Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Vehicle, which features 28% faster acceleration compared to its traditional diesel ARFF, providing speed to the scene when seconds matter. Additionally, Oshkosh was named a CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Construction and Industrial Tech category for the McNeilus® Volterra™ Electric Refuse and Recycling Vehicle.
“Every day, our team is focused on developing innovative, practical solutions for everyday heroes who shape the future of airports, neighborhoods and job sites,” said Jay Iyengar, executive vice president and chief technology and strategic sourcing officer, Oshkosh Corporation. “We are proud to be recognized by the Consumer Technology Association for our newest solutions that make tough jobs easier — from aiding workers at height to helping manage the traveler experience at airports. These awards underscore the positive impact that autonomy, AI, connectivity and electrification can have on creating a safe, intuitive and productive future through technologies that move the world forward.”
