JLG and Skyjack Unveil North American Equipment Updates

JLG Industries announced the complete redesign of its SkyTrak telehandler lineup for the North American market, introducing the 10042, 10054 and 12054 models. The new machines deliver up to 12,000 lb lift capacity, a maximum lift height of 53 ft 2 in, Tier 4 Final Cummins diesel engines, SmartShift transmissions and ClearSky fleet‑management connectivity. Senior product manager John Boehme said the redesign reflects customer feedback and aims to boost productivity and operator confidence.

Separately, Linamar’s Skyjack division named two new territory sales managers for the United States. Steve De La Torre will cover Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, while Brian Wesley will oversee Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and West Tennessee. Both bring decades of experience in aerial‑lift and equipment‑rental markets, and their appointments are intended to strengthen Skyjack’s customer relationships and support growth in the Southwest and Southeast regions.
