JLG Industries has announced its “Crews Across America” sweepstakes, a contest designed in the company’s 50^th year to celebrate the hard-working crews from coast to coast who use aerial work platforms and telescopic handlers.

“When JLG started the aerial industry in 1969 with the introduction of the world’s first boomlift, a safer way to work at height was born,” said Jennifer Stiansen, director of marketing for JLG. “We would not be celebrating our 50^th year as a market leader for this type of equipment had construction crews not adapted to this new product. The ‘Crews Across America’ contest is a way to celebrate with those who have made JLG’s success possible.”

Nominations for “Crews Across America” can be entered online at www.choosejlg.com. The site features details for entry and includes a “Crew Tracker” map to follow where crews are being recognized across the United States.

Two crews will be selected monthly through September for a total of 18 winners. All members selected for recognition will receive giveaways including hats, t-shirts and other JLG-branded gifts, with one winning crew each month receiving an onsite catered lunch hosted by JLG team members. Also, winners will be recognized through JLG’s social media channels, where their stories can be tracked by following #CrewsAcrossAmerica.
