JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training Mississauga - After retiring in the late 1960's, John L. Grove set out on a cross country RV voyage. After spending many years establishing his family built crane business with his brother, John had no idea that this journey would bring about the rise of JLG Industries, Inc. The world leader of mobile aerial work platforms and precision materials handling equipment was the end consequence of a road trip.

During their journey, John reacquainted himself with former business associates along the way. In combination with these conversations and a significant event; two workers had been tragically electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were passing through the Hoover Dam. John uncovered a vast market for a product that could quickly and securely lift people in the air to accomplish upkeep and other building services.

Upon returning from their travels, John established a partnership with two friends and purchased a metal fabrication business in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1970, opening operations with a crew of twenty personnel, they designed and sold the first JLG aerial work platform. The company incorporates some of the simple design elements of that original lift into current models.

JLG forklifts have come a long way from the time when Mr. John L. Grove came back to town from his cross-country road trip and since the first aerial work platform debuted on the market. These days, the company proudly continues to expand itself into a range of marketplaces worldwide and develops new products to make sure clients are capable of being more effective and perform in the workplace within a safer atmosphere.
