JLG Industries, an Oshkosh Corporation business and manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, has rolled out its Rapid Replaceable Platform, a new standard feature on select JLG boom lift models in North America. 

JLG 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.

This new design enables damaged platforms to be removed and installed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods, keeping machines on the job and reducing costly downtime. 

Key features, according to JLG, 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-pound 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

Beginning in May 2025, the Rapid Replaceable Platform will phase into production across all platform sizes for applicable models. JLG said that machines built with the Rapid Replaceable Platform are not compatible with traditional platforms.
