JLG Industries, a subsidiary of the Oshkosh Corporation, recently announced the availability of a cold-weather package for its SkyTrak telescopic forklifts. The optional add-on provides heaters for the hydraulic tank, battery, and breather, as well as cold-weather fluids, like antifreeze and hydraulic oil. The cold-weather package equips SkyTrak telehandlers to perform as expected even as temperatures drop as low as minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can’t Stop For Cold

“We understand projects can’t stop because of cold weather,” says John Boehme, senior product manager, telehandlers, at JLG. “This package helps ensure our SkyTrak telehandlers are operating at optimal efficiency. At the same time, operators will have the confidence that the machines will perform at the highest level in harsh conditions.”
