JLG's acquisition of AUSA has expanded its product range and continues to benefit the company and its Australian customers.
-
Since 1983, JLG has specialised in access and lighting equipment, with an established presence across Australia and New Zealand.
It completed its purchase of Spanish company AUSA in September 2024, integrating the manufacturer's wheeled dumpers, rough terrain forklifts, and compact telehandlers into its Access segment portfolio.
This product range, combined with JLG’s existing products, meant a sizeable expansion in its overall offering.
While AUSA products have been available in Australia for nearly three decades, the acquisition means it is the first time its machinery will be offered by a direct-to-market OEM.
