Oshkosh Corporation operates globally as a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of specialized vehicles and vehicle bodies. The company's diverse operations are structured into four primary segments: 1. Access Equipment: This segment provides aerial work platforms and telehandlers, essential for diverse applications in construction, industry, institutions, and general maintenance. In addition to machinery, this segment provides financial solutions, such as rental fleet loans and leases, as well as floor plan and retail financing through third-party arrangements. It also supplies towing and recovery equipment, carriers, wreckers, equipment installation services, and fundamental chassis and service parts. 2. Defense: The Defense segment specializes in providing the Department of Defense with a comprehensive lineup of heavy, medium, and light tactical wheeled vehicles, complemented by associated services. 3. Fire & Emergency: This division produces a broad spectrum of specialized apparatus designed for crucial response scenarios. This encompasses custom and commercial firefighting equipment like pumpers, aerial platforms, ladder and tiller trucks, tankers, and rescue vehicles. It also extends to specialized emergency vehicles such as wildland rough terrain responders, mobile command and control centers, bomb squad units, hazardous materials control vehicles, and various other emergency response apparatus. Further offerings include aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles, snow removal equipment, broadcast vehicles, command trucks, and military simulator shelters and trailers. 4. Commercial: The Commercial segment caters to a wide range of industrial requirements. It provides front and rear-discharge concrete mixers for the ready-mix sector; refuse collection vehicles and related components for commercial and municipal waste haulers; and field service vehicles and truck-mounted cranes tailored for the construction, equipment dealer, building supply, utility, tire service, railroad, and mining industries. Oshkosh Corporation distributes its products globally through a network of direct sales representatives, dealers, and distributors. Established in 1917 and headquartered in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the company adopted its current name in February 2008, having previously been known as Oshkosh Truck Corporation.
