Cashman Offers JLG Work Platforms

Las Vegas-based Cashman Equipment Company has begun offering JLG aerial work platforms such as scissor and boom lifts for rent at all seven of the firm's rental locations. Expanding a comprehensive line of rental equipment, Cashman will make more than 100 JLG lifts available to southern Nevada

"Aerial work platforms are a common sight inside as well as outside commercial buildings and are in high demand in southern Nevada," said Dave Damboise, Cashman sales manager for rental services. Scissor lifts, generally seen indoors, are used where high lifting capacity is required. When equipped with non-marking tires, scissor lifts are ideal for lighting changes and maintenance in shopping malls or other commercial locations. They are also well suited for plumbers, painters and welders carrying heavy loads up to heights of 18 feet to 43 feet.

Boom or knuckle lifts are capable of significantly higher heights, as well as versatile telescopic extension. The arm of the lift will fully extend from 24 feet to 53 feet, at heights of 40 feet to 80 feet, depending on the model. Booms are regularly in use outside casinos and hotels when the messages of the marquees are changed. "A boom lift would allow the operator to position the platform right next to the sign, regardless of surrounding stairs, landscaping or uneven terrain," explained John Rice, Cashman rental manager. Boom lifts are used in many other industries, such as exterior painting, window glazing, masonry (tilt-up walls), drywall installation, welding, and electrical installation.

JLG and Cashman have a solid history of working together. When Caterpillar and JLG Industries entered into a strategic, 20-year alliance in 2005, Cashman became the first dealership to receive the new JLG-Cat-produced telehandlers. "It was a logical choice to go with JLG," said Lee Vanderpool, Cashman's vice president of sales and marketing. "They have a proven reputation for quality and reliability, and we are very familiar with their products. We're always looking for opportunities to expand our offerings to our diverse customer base.?Adding these new products to our JLG line of equipment will help us do that."
