JLG Opens European Reconditioning Centre in Italy
30 Second Takeaway
JLG has opened a European Reconditioning Centre in Cerea, Italy, to restore selected used boom lifts to a “like new” condition. The 7,700-square-metre site includes approximately 2,500 square metres of covered workshop space. The programme will initially cover four JLG models: the 600AJ, 660SJ, 800AJ and 860SJ. Cerea will also provide equipment service and repair, along with expanded technical and IPAF safety training.
Cerea Centre Expands European Aftermarket Support
Located east of JLG and Hinowa’s facility in Nogara, the Cerea site brings reconditioning, service, repair and technical training together in one location. JLG says the centre will give customers another way to extend equipment life and manage fleet investment, particularly when new equipment timing or availability does not meet their needs.
The facility occupies a 7,700-square-metre site, with approximately 2,500 square metres of covered workshop space and a separate office and training area.
Four Boom Lift Models in the First Recon Programme
The JLG Reconditioned Equipment, or Recon, programme will initially include four boom lifts:
600AJ: 60-foot articulating boom lift
660SJ: 66-foot telescopic boom lift
800AJ: 80-foot articulating boom lift
860SJ: 86-foot telescopic boom lift
JLG plans to add further models over time.
Inspection, Rebuild and Warranty
Each machine first undergoes a full inspection to determine whether it is suitable for reconditioning. Once accepted, major components are removed for rebuilding or replacement with new genuine JLG parts. The equipment is then reassembled to restore it to its original specifications.
After rebuilding, technicians carry out a detailed inspection, address any remaining discrepancies and complete a final quality audit before the machine returns to service. Each reconditioned unit will include a two-year machine and engine warranty.
Service, Repair and Technical Training
Cerea will include a dedicated workshop for service and repairs, as well as expanded technical training facilities.
JLG’s Nogara facility delivered approximately 350 courses and trained around 800 technicians over the past four years. The company plans for Cerea to add four or five courses each month covering JLG, Hinowa and Ausa equipment, as well as about 10 IPAF safety courses each year.
“Our goal is to give customers more choice and greater confidence in how they manage their fleets,”
said David Courtin, JLG general manager, Aftermarket Europe.
“By bringing reconditioning, service and technical training together in Cerea, we can provide more support throughout the working life of their equipment.”
“Every fleet has different needs, and Recon gives customers another way to meet them,”
said Laurent Dumez, JLG senior manager, Used and Recon.
“In some cases, the timing or availability of new equipment may not match their needs. This programme provides another option in such situations.”
