JLG Industries, Inc. has launched two free telehandler-focused e-books for Apple iPads.

The interactive books (one about JLG Telehandlers in general and the other about SkyTrak telehandlers) combine product specifications with telehandler product features, benefits, options and accessories, and a description of JLG Ground Support services.

JLG said the books also incorporate high-resolution photos and demonstration videos to help readers learn more about the JLG and SkyTrak line of telehandlers. The e-books let customers and dealers working in the field to replace brochures and computers with" more portable mobile devices that provide access to valuable product information," JLG said. In addition, a dealer locator can direct readers to a nearby JLG dealer to encourage local connections.
