We take pride in keeping heavy equipment running at peak performance. Recently, we had the opportunity to work on a JLG telehandler that had been experiencing starting issues at a job site in Texas. The machine was crucial for daily operations, and any downtime meant lost productivity. Our team quickly assessed the problem and got to work.
Diagnosing the Issue
The telehandler was failing to start, and the operator reported intermittent power issues. After a thorough inspection, we determined that both the starter and the battery were faulty. A weak battery can sometimes cause starting problems, but in this case, the starter had also worn out over time. Given the demanding nature of telehandler operations, it was no surprise that these components had reached the end of their lifespan.
The Repair Process
Once we identified the issue, our team moved efficiently to minimize downtime. Here’s how we handled the job:
- Safety First—We disconnected the old battery to prevent electrical hazards and ensured the machine was properly secured.
- Removing the Old Starter—The faulty starter was located in a tight space, but with the right tools and expertise, we carefully removed it without damaging surrounding components.
- Installing the New Starter—We replaced the worn-out starter with a high-quality OEM replacement to ensure longevity and reliable performance.
- Battery Replacement—A brand-new heavy-duty battery was installed to provide consistent power and prevent future starting issues.
- Testing & Final Checks—After installation, we ran a series of tests to verify that the telehandler started smoothly and was operating at full capacity.
Job Completed: Another Machine Back in Action
With the new starter and battery in place, the JLG telehandler was back up and running. The operator reported an immediate improvement, with smooth starts and consistent performance.
