LIGHTING
JLG’s Metro-POD Lighting Tower has
been designed and purpose-built to
ISO 9001 standards using a Quality
Management System (QMS) annually
audited at the JLG manufacturing
facility in Port Macquarie, NSW.
The facility uses an array of lean and
six sigma tools as well as five quality
inspection points during manufacturing.
These include: a fabrication final
inspection, paint final inspection, final
assembly final inspection, run-up
inspection and a final pass quality audit.
JLG Industries General Manager –
ISO 9001 certification for Metro-POD
Australia & New Zealand, Bob Mules,
said: “An ISO 9001 certification is
evidence of our commitment to quality
and provides our customers with
evidence of our internal discipline to
achieve this quality.
“JLG first achieved ISO certification in
2001 and by meeting the most recent
ISO 9001 requirements we’ll ensure our
customers’ high expectations continue to
be met. This certification will improve our
processes and further build efficiencies in
our business – it’s a win-win situation.”

According to Mark Smithwick, Onsite’s
Asset Manager – East Coast: “They’ve
been a great addition to our fleet and
we’re looking to purchase more because
the uptake from our customer base has
been quite dramatic.”
Onsite has had a longstanding
working relationship with JLG and has
collaborated on the specs of machines.
“We’ve given them feedback on a couple
of versions and a couple of specs we
wanted,” Mark said.
“JLG’s Metro-LED Lighting Towers offer
the complete package as the whole
market moves toward LED technology.
You get longer life out of the light heads
themselves; they’re a low voltage 48V
tower, not 240V, which is much safer;
they’re also quiet for use in metro areas
because they’re well insulated and they
are fuel efficient with excellent diesel
tank capacity giving end users a longer
running time which means the customer
doesn’t have to refuel as often.”
To ensure smooth, on-time delivery to
Onsite’s nationwide branch network,
JLG’s Director of Sales – Australia & New
Zealand, Scott Daly, oversaw delivery.
“Scott went out of his way to ensure we
were kept up-to-date with the progress
of the order, which was logistically

challenging because we wanted the
lighting towers spread across the east
and west coast in certain numbers. We
gave JLG a location plan and it was
delivered in a really fantastic lead time.
“JLG invests heavily in aftermarket
service and support and our confidence
in their support is a key factor in working
with them. JLG definitely goes the extra
mile for customers to ensure their support
is outstanding,” Mark said.
“It’s all about partnering to deliver exactly
the machines the market wants, then
supporting our machines and customers
and adding value through our branch
network, service footprint, spare parts and
technical support,” JLG’s Scott Daly said
