JLG Industries, an Oshkosh Corp. company, last week announced that its 340AJ boomlift was a recipient of Equipment Today’s inaugural Contractors’ Top 50 Products Award.

Recipients were selected based on the amount of reader inquiries and page views from June 2010 to June 2011 for new products that were published in Equipment Today magazine and posted on ForConstructionPros.com.

“We’re honored to accept this award, which illustrates the value contractors see in the 340AJ, including its durability and low cost of ownership,” said Tim Morris, senior vice president of sales, market development & customer support. “We strive to provide the best products to help our customers perform their jobs as efficiently as possible, and this award reaffirms our commitment to meeting our customers’ needs.”

With a lift height of 34 feet, 20 feet of horizontal reach and a 17-foot up-and-over reach, the 340AJ has a low gross vehicle weight of 9,700 pounds. The boomlift is designed to be easier to service and maintain, features a steel hood to increase its durability and has a 500-pound capacity.

Headquartered in McConnellsburg, Pa., JLG Industries is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of access equipment. The company’s product portfolio includes brands such as JLGaerial work platforms; JLG, SkyTrak and Lull telehandlers; and an array of complementary accessories designed to increase the versatility and efficiency of these products.
