JLG president Frank Nerenhausen said: “We will invest approximately $120 million in our Tennessee facility over the next two years to increase SkyTrak manufacturing by at least 50 percent to meet growing demand for telehandlers. Expanding our operational capacity in Jefferson City will enable a ramp up in production to meet the needs of our customers today and into the future.”

“Our investments will not only boost capacity to meet the rapidly rising demand for our products in a relatively short amount of time but also automates the way we fabricate and build JLG equipment,” he added.
