JLG's new premises allows it to display a wider range of telehandlers than previously.

JLG Industries has relocated its South Australian business to new, larger, purpose-built premises at Greenfields in Adelaide's north.

The new 3,000 square metre branch premises are almost five times the size of the Salisbury South premises which have served JLG customers in South Australia for 13 years.

JLG Industries state manager SA, Wayne Moschetti, says the company is now able to stock and display a vastly wider range of aerial work platforms and telehandlers than previously.

"There's a large hardstand display area with underground power connections, so there are no problems raising scissor lifts or telescopic boom lifts to their full height during customer demonstrations.

"Even more importantly, the new premises include a greatly enhanced service workshop for South Australia.

"With an overhead gantry crane we can carry out major inspections and repairs efficiently, to keep equipment downtime to an absolute minimum."

The new branch also includes a training venue where JLG specialists will conduct seminars to educate customers' maintenance staff about correct diagnostic and service procedures.

The company also plans to establish a major parts facility in Perth. The new warehouse will provide South Australia with a second source for parts now supplied from Sydney.

"Our new South Australian branch is the latest move in what is a total renewal of JLG facilities around the nation," says Andrew Satterley, general manager Australia and New Zealand.
