Rainer has been with JLG for over 10 years in a variety of sales-related roles, most recently serving as a District Sales Manager in the South-Central Region. Prior, he was part of the Aftermarket Sales team in the Great Plains states, where he focused on parts and service support.

In his role as Director of Channel Development for North America, Rainer will be responsible for working to establish a dedicated dealer network for JLG agricultural telescopic handlers, while overseeing all sales and aftermarket efforts including parts, service, and training. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Florida State University.

“Cody has been a long-standing member of the JLG sales team and is well-known for his focus on customer service and support. His business approach aligns well to the relationship-driven nature of the ag industry, so we are excited to have him spearhead this effort,”

says Brent Miller, vice president of channel management at JLG.

JLG recently premiered the first model in its line of agricultural telescopic handlers, the JLG AG925, at Ag Progress Days (Furnace, Penn.), the Farm Progress Show (Decatur, Ill.), and Harvest Days (Grand Isle, Neb.)

Rainer says the Company is not new to serving the ag industry. “In one sense, we are actually returning to our roots. In 1969, when JLG’s founder John L. Grove introduced the world’s first boom lift, he marketed it to local farmers as a safer way to do work at height tasks in and around their barns,”

he says.

Agricultural telescopic handlers offer farmers and ranchers an equipment solution that simplifies repetitive lifting, loading, and carrying tasks, as well as general overhead repair and maintenance work.

Rainer looks most forward to:

“Working closely with ranchers, growers, and farmers to understand the unique pick-and-carry challenges that telehandlers can help resolve and to representing a line of products that are Made and Supported in America.”

“With this cooperation, we are combining our competencies – on the one hand, PBST’s global sales structure for turbochargers and, on the other hand, Rolls-Royce’s latest high-efficiency MTU turbocharger technology for high-speed diesel and gas engines,”

explains Andreas Schell, CEO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. 

The turbochargers developed and produced in-house by Rolls-Royce Power Systems will thus be made available in additional markets. For Rolls-Royce, this creates a new channel for sales in addition to Woodward L’Orange. PBST will include the latest generation of the MTU turbocharger family ZR1 to ZR5 in its product portfolio and will distribute them under the series name HIRO in the future.

“The MTU brand is characterized above all by its in-depth know-how in high-speed applications. Thanks to this product expansion, we are now able to offer our customers exactly the right turbocharger for their high-, medium- and low-speed applications under one roof via the PBST brand,”

says Dr. Uwe Lauber, CEO of MAN Energy Solutions.

The MTU turbochargers are offered on the basis of a modular system for engines in the 400 to 2,500-kilowatt power ranges in single- and two-stage versions. Rolls-Royce designs them to meet the specific requirements of various applications such as marine, rail, construction, heavy land vehicles, and power supply.

“Advanced turbocharging helps engines achieve low fuel consumption and high power over a wide speed range. It is an important building block for meeting increasingly stringent emission requirements in the future – without compromising engine performance or efficiency,”

explains Dr. Otto Preiss, Chief Technology Officer and COO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems.

“With the aim of offering new propulsion and energy solutions for a climate-neutral future, we are also currently working on electrically assisted turbochargers for greater agility and lower fuel consumption, as well as on turbocharger concepts for fuel cells.”
