November 29, 2006 • JLG Industries, Inc., McConnellsburg, Pa., has been awarded a delivery order contract worth $23.7 million from the U.S. Army for the refurbishment of All-Terrain Lifter Army System ("ATLAS") vehicles and SkyTrak(R) Model 6000M vehicles, the predecessor to the ATLAS product. JLG has performed refurbishment work for the Army since August 2004, generating approximately $51 million of revenue since that time. This contract is a continuation of that work and will span approximately 12 months. According to the Associated Press, the pact was granted November 1 and is part of a firm-fixed contract worth nearly $27.1 million for services on JLG's ATLAS forklifts.

 

"This new contract builds upon the partnership between the U.S. Army and JLG and reflects the trust and confidence they have in our company and our programs," commented David Peacock, JLG's vice president of government products and programs. "JLG has refurbished more than 450 vehicles for the U.S. Army that are used in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. We are proud to support the U.S. military and look forward to continuing this relationship in the years ahead."

 

Work on the machines will be performed in McConnellsburg and will be completed by June 30, 2008.
