The US Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) has awarded a USD102.2 million contract to JLG Industries Inc for equipment to be delivered over five years.

TACOM has purchased 566 JLG Atlas II military telescopic material handlers, including field service support, add-on armour, performance-based logistics and simulators for training purposes. The Atlas II design adds "lube-for-life" systems and on-board diagnostics to the capabilities of the Atlas I vehicle.

JLG's McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania, military support centre will manufacture the new telehandlers. JLG intends to deliver six Atlas II production verification test vehicles in June for military testing.

JLG became a subsidiary of Oshkosh-based Oshkosh Truck Corp on December 6.
"Our integration work is well underway and we continue to work hard with the JLG team as they become a core component of our great company," Oshkosh CEO Robert Bohn said.
