JLG Industries, an Oshkosh Corp. company and a leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telescopic material handlers, this week announced that the 1500SJ boomlift was selected by Construction Equipment magazine as a Top 100 product of 2011.

The Top 100 Award program was developed to highlight the most significant new products announced each year. The awards recognize manufacturers whose investment in research and development results in innovative products that boost productivity, efficiency and safety and ensure a competitive marketplace. The magazine’s editors reviewed several hundred new products and chose the Top 100 products based on their own experience with equipment technology, in addition to reader input. The 1500SJ, along with the other Top 100 winners of 2011, will be featured in Construction Equipment’s December 2011 issue.

“JLG is honored to accept this award, which recognizes our commitment to innovation, dependability and safety to our customers,” said Jeff Ford, JLG Industries product director.

The 1500SJ includes a telescoping jib that offers expanded work envelope flexibility and up to 25 feet of horizontal and vertical reach. In addition, the lift delivers industry-leading terrainability and boosts productivity with the industry’s best work envelope. The 1500SJ features dual 1,000/500 pound capacity, three steering modes and advanced systems to assist in safely positioning the platform.

JLG Industries is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of access equipment.
