JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business and a leading global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, announces the release of its latest whitepaper, Built to Rent, Ready to Work: Why Owners and Operators Choose Compact Telehandlers. As job sites evolve — becoming more constrained, diversified and efficiency-focused — rental companies need equipment that can deliver maximum utility with minimal footprint. Compact telehandlers, with rated lift capacities of 6,000-lb and under, are meeting this demand by combining maneuverability, lift performance and multi-phase job site utility in a single machine.

Insights From the Whitepaper

This new JLG whitepaper explores the market trends driving demand for compact telehandlers. With construction increasingly taking place in tight urban spaces and residential environments, compact telehandlers have become essential. Their small footprint and maneuverability allow them to operate where larger machines can’t, without sacrificing lifting capacity.

Growth in residential and light commercial construction, combined with the need to minimize operating costs, is fueling demand for equipment that can do it all. Compact telehandlers meet this need by replacing multiple machines with a single, multi-phase job site performer.

Product Innovation and Customer Experiences

JLG® and SkyTrak® compact telehandlers stand out in the market by providing industry-leading lift height, forward reach and terrainability. Their broad application range and attachment compatibility make them highly adaptable across industries, from general construction and landscaping to event support and maintenance work.

The whitepaper features real-world testimonials and expert insights on how compact telehandlers, from ultra-compact JLG E313 and SkyTrak 3013 to higher-capacity models like the JLG 519 and SkyTrak 6034/6042, are redefining performance expectations. Each is engineered to maximize performance in its class, delivering features that meet the evolving demands of modern job sites. Rental companies report increased utilization, reduced logistics costs and higher customer satisfaction thanks to these machines’ versatility and reliability.
