JLG teams up with Deutz for recon

Deutz is to provide JLG with Deutz Xchange remanufactured engines for its aerial work platform re-conditioning programme.

The engines come complete with three year warranty and full service coverage. In order to meet expected demand, Deutz has increased production at its Pendergrass, Georgia, facility from five to eight engines a day. It will then deliver the Xchange engines to JLG’s Bedford, Pennsylvania, facility on a just-in-time basis, controlling inventory costs while still meeting the tight turn-around times for the reconditioning programme.

Deutz chief executive Robert Mann said: “JLG was particularly pleased with the three year transferrable warranty that we offer on all our Xchange engines. That warranty, our quality product, and the fact that our remanufactured engines can be serviced by any Deutz distributor were key factors that helped us earn this business.”

JLG vice president of aftermarket sales in North America Christopher Mellott, added: “JLG has very strict OEM guidelines that we follow for all of our reconditioned products. Our scope of work is very detailed, making our reconditioning programme similar to our new manufacturing programme. In the end, customers receive a machine that has the same reliability as a new one.”

“We were looking for a global partner that could support our growth and provide quality product and support. Deutz offered us the ability to partner with the leading engine OEM to deliver the consistency and reliability we know our customers have come to expect.”
