He added, “We intend to use the L65 as an anchor point for our future HiReach products. We have a robust product pipeline and look forward to introducing several other new class-leading designs in the coming months.”

Safety Tip: WEEKLY INSPECTIONS
This month we are focusing our safety tip on the importance of weekly inspections.
Routine inspections collect critical information that helps operators, mechanics and fleet managers keep equipment in service and ensure jobs are completed safely.
Daily and weekly checks also allow you to “see around corners” by identifying potential problems before they become serious issues.
