About three years ago JCB created this simulator off of their corporate website.  When searching for a new simulator package which was to be released we found this.  The best part about this simulator is that you can operate the machine using many of its features.   After the break check out the video.

Break out the spray paint…It was only a matter of time but JLG has rebranded the Gradall Rear Pivot Steer Telehandlers.  The history of the Telehandler line is unique and the power the brand has brought to JLG is truly awesome.  The design and engineering innovation of this machine has moved throughout their entire line of machines.

“The Gradall name has been an icon in the telehandler industry for decades, with a reputation built on reliability and performance. We’re maintaining all the finest qualities of the Gradall name and product, including the famous blue color, but will begin branding these models under the JLG name,” said Kirsten Skyba, VP – Global Marketing, JLG Industries. “The same number of models will be available and the equipment will continue to be built, serviced and sold with the high level of quality inherent in all JLG products.”
