“We are very proud of JLG’s military telehandler programs and our continued commitment and ability to serve the U.S. Army,” said Denny Buterbaugh, JLG’s vice president of government products and programs.

ATLAS II rough terrain forklifts deliver several performance enhancements over the original ATLAS design, including reduced emissions and the addition of several multifunctional attachments. Manufactured in McConnellsburg, Pa., the ATLAS II machines join the 2,500 original ATLAS units that are currently being utilized by the US Army in operations around the globe.
