On site: We check out the new JLG Industries parts distribution center (photos!)

While in Las Vegas for CONEXPO this week we swung by the new parts distribution center for JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corp., which is scheduled to open later this month. And we have the photos to prove it!

The new 215,000-square-foot parts distribution center will stock more than 20,000 SKUs. The parts offering from this facility will include all products from the JLG Genuine, JLG Reman and new MaxQuip lines. All available parts can be shipped with next-day delivery in North America.

“Opening the Las Vegas parts distribution center represents our continued commitment to being the industry leader in aftermarket service and reducing our customers’ cost of doing business,” said Jonathan Dawley, global vice president, aftermarket at JLG Industries, Inc. “This new PDC brings our parts inventory geographically closer to customers for quicker delivery of parts. As a result, machines are up and running in less time, increasing productivity and reducing total cost of ownership.”

The new parts distribution center will employ a team of 25 full-time workers and is part of a strategic partnership with XPO Logistics, a proven provider of distribution and logistics services that operate in 33 countries. JLG plans to open an additional 316,000 square foot parts distribution center in Atlanta later this year.

The new location will also include a JLG Service Training facility, including a classroom and two fully appointed service bays to offer customers on the west coast a convenient option for quality JLG technical training.
