McConnellsburg, Pa. — April 22, 2015 — JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corp. company and a leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telescopic material handlers, will mark the production of its 100,000th telehandler with a charity auction event and other celebrations for customers and employees.
The announcement was made during JLG’s appearance at the Intermat show in Paris-Nord Villepinte, France.
The company will produce two commemorative telehandlers – a G10-55A and a 4017RS. Each will sport a custom color scheme comprised of 100,000 tiny JLG logos.
The 4017RS unit will be auctioned off during a gala invitation-only event in October. All of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to the buyer’s charity of choice.
“We sincerely appreciate the loyalty our customers have shown over the years and this charitable donation is the best way we could think of to give something back,” said Frank Nerenhausen, president of JLG Industries. “Allowing the auction winner to select their charity of choice makes this personal for the buyers, and further reinforces JLG’s commitment to personal attention.”
More information about the auction event will be issued in June.
The commemorative machines will be busy before October's auction. They will be available to European customers interested in sales demonstrations. They will also travel to JLG sites across Europe to thank employees for their contributions to JLG’s success. Similarly, a custom machine will also be celebrated at JLG manufacturing facilities in the U.S.
