JLG Industries Inc., a leading global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers, will soon expand its product offering to include rotating telehandlers.
For this new range of products, JLG chose to partner with Dieci, a manufacturer with more than 20 years of rotating-telehandler experience.
Three new JLG rotary telehandler models will be available to order this fall. Shipment to customers will start in early 2022.
The new JLG line of rotating telehandlers will offer premium performance and will initially consist of the JLG R1370, R1385, and R11100. They will offer maximum lifting heights from 67.3’ to 97.1’ and maximum lifting capacities from 11,000 to 13,200 lbs.
The line will provide operators with optimal comfort, increased functionality, and premium performance, redefining productivity while reducing congestion on the job site.
“JLG is delighted to partner with a like-minded innovator like Dieci to develop its line of rotating telehandlers for North America,” said Rogerio dos Santos, vice president of engineering for telehandlers at JLG. “With industry-leading design engineers around the globe collaborating on this effort, the resulting product line is expected to exceed both the quality and performance standards customers have come to expect from both companies.”
Rotating telehandlers have long been popular in Europe, where city streets are often narrow and curve through tightly packed buildings. As growing urbanization in the United States reduces open space, rotating telehandlers are becoming more popular where one must work in one spot without frequent relocation.
“Traditional telehandlers can lift and extend loads directly in front of them, whereas rotating handlers can lift, extend, and swing 360°, adding new functionality. In some applications, rotary telehandlers can even be used in place of three individual machines: a traditional telehandler for telescoping, a MEWP for use of a platform, and a crane to handle suspended loads,” continued dos Santos.
JLG rotating telehandlers are being designed to meet the needs of the masonry, roofing, demolition, cladding, renovation, and tunnelling industries.
“The partnership between Dieci and JLG to build rotary telehandlers marks the coming together of two global market leaders in the telehandler space,” said Ciro Correggi, CEO of Dieci. “We are proud of our manufacturing history and success in Europe with this product and pleased to partner with a company of JLG’s caliber to bring it to North American customers.”
The new line of JLG rotary telehandlers will be available with 13 attachments right at launch for added versatility.
“This partnership and the new line of rotary telehandlers from JLG are forged in the combined experience of more than 111 years between the two companies,” added dos Santos.
“Customers can expect machines that are ready to tackle a multitude of job-site tasks, backed by JLG’s warranty, parts, and service expertise.”
