JLG opens new Australian facility.

JLG's global president, Craig Paylor, was in Perth on the 16 March to open JLG's latest Australian facility.

The complex is the fourth new facility opened in Australia in the last three years. It is nearly four times as large as the company's previous Western Australian branch and includes a service base, replacement parts and training facilities as well as JLG sales and administrative offices for WA.

In WA JLG is also adding specialist staff, more mobile field service technicians, increased workshop service facilities and is overhauling its replacement parts arrangements and stock holdings.

Andrew Satterley, the company's vice president and managing director of Australia and New Zealand said, "We are lifting our response to the needs of JLG equipment users all over Australia.

"The facilities we have just opened in Perth are designed to provide the support necessary to keep our customers' machines in as-new condition for many years after their initial purchase.

"We believe our customers start with an advantage because of the level of productivity built into every new JLG elevated work platform and telehandler.

"These new premises, the additional field service technicians, parts holdings, and training facilities provide all the options to maintain that advantage."
