Low-level access solution designed and manufactured in the UK makes its first appearance at Europe’s leading access equipment exhibition
Hoofddorp, the Netherlands – (June, 2026) – JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business [NYSE:OSK] and a leading global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, featured the new JLG® LiftPod® Quick Fold Lift at APEX 2026, 2-4 June, in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Presented as part of JLG’s “Built Around You” stand experience, LiftPod introduces a new category of low-level access equipment: the Quick Fold Lift, reflecting the company’s continued investment in developing solutions designed around the evolving needs of customers across Europe.
As maintenance work increasingly takes place in occupied buildings where safety, presentation and minimal disruption all matter, LiftPod extends JLG’s access expertise into a new set of indoor applications. LiftPod is designed for facility management teams working in hotels, retail spaces, offices, hospitals and other public venues, where routine maintenance and installation tasks are often carried out in view of guests, visitors or other members of the community.
LiftPod’s debut at APEX also highlighted JLG’s growing manufacturing footprint in Europe. The product is designed and built in the UK, where JLG manufactures low-level access equipment as part of its “In Europe. For Europe.” strategy to provide localized products and support tailored to European applications and regulations.
“APEX brings together the companies shaping the future of access equipment, making it the ideal venue to present LiftPod to the European access industry,” says Ian Hume, General Manager – European Sales Operations, JLG. “While LiftPod was developed specifically for indoor and public-facing ‘front-of-house’ maintenance environments, it reflects the same JLG focus on practical access solutions designed around customer needs.”
Designed to be compact, foldable, portable and stable, LiftPod offers an alternative to traditional access methods, such as ladders and podiums, for routine soft maintenance tasks, like changing lightbulbs, hanging décor and installing AV equipment. With models available in 1.2-m and 1.5-m platform heights, LiftPod features a patented, non-powered lifting mechanism, a fully adjustable platform with a 150-kg platform capacity and is accessible for a wide range of personnel. Boasting a working footprint of less than one square meter and folded dimensions of just 0.6-m by 0.77-m, it is easy to store and well-suited for space-constrained environments.
The product’s ergonomic design is intended to support more natural working during repetitive access tasks. Its foldable, stylish design also allows maintenance work to be carried out with minimal disruption in busy customer-facing environments. These elements demonstrate how modern access equipment can be designed to meet both operational and environmental requirements, particularly in public-facing spaces where professionalism and presentation are important considerations
“LiftPod demonstrates how we continue to expand our portfolio beyond traditional access equipment to address emerging customer needs,” says Rogerio dos Santos, Global Strategy, Merger & Acquisitions and Vice President EMEAI, JLG. “As customers increasingly look for practical, purpose-built solutions for indoor environments, we see significant opportunities for products like LiftPod.”
