The division includes IMT, McNeilus, Oshkosh and London brands manufactures and distributes a range of loader cranes, service trucks, concrete mixers, refuse truck bodies and concrete batching plants.

In his new role, which takes effect this week, he will report to Oshkosh group president Wilson Jones – who was president of JLG until mid-2012. His role at JLG was taken by Frank Nerenhausen – previously president of McNeilus/Oshkosh Commercial.

Prior to joining JLG in October 2011, Nelson worked at Eaton Corp, the publicly quoted electrical and power management group, where he was head of global marketing and communications since 2007. Before that he managed the company’s power back up business unit. Before joining Eaton he spent almost eight years with EMC Iomega the IT services group, having started his career in the IT and communications sectors.

Oshkosh chief executive Charlie Szews said: “We are very pleased to have an individual such as Brad Nelson, who has significant marketing, product and business development expertise, lead our Commercial segment. Brad’s experience will be very valuable as our Commercial businesses seek to continue their impressive operational improvements, and ramp up to take advantage of the market recovery for construction equipment and the economy in general.”
