JLG Announces New Rapid Replaceable Platform Is Now Standard on Select Boom Lift Models
JLG Industries Inc. has begun rolling out its Rapid Replaceable Platform, a new standard feature on select JLG boom lift models in North America. The company said the new Rapid Replaceable Platform allows for quick and efficient servicing of boom lift platforms in the field with minimal interruption — helping customers increase uptime.
According to the press release, this innovative design enables damaged platforms to be removed and installed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. This keeps machines on the job and reduces costly downtime.
JLG said key features include:
- Center storage tray and self-closing gates are now standard
- Dual USB-A and USB-C charger included as standard
- Tool clip locations standard on both sides of the console box (22-lb capacity)
- Manual storage box relocated for added protection
- LED light installed beneath the console box for platform illumination
- No reduction in platform capacity, maintaining the model’s rated capacity
- Full compatibility with approved JLG accessories
The Rapid Replaceable Platform began phasing into production in May across all platform sizes for applicable models. JLG explained that machines built with the Rapid Replaceable Platform are not compatible with traditional platforms. The company said that if a platform replacement is required, customers can visit Online Express to select the appropriate Rapid Replaceable Platform for their model.
JLG added that Toucan, Tow-Pro and Compact Crawler Boom Lifts will continue to be produced with the existing traditional platform at this time.
