JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training Prince Albert - Following retirement in the late 1960's, John L. Grove embarked on on a cross country RV voyage. After spending many years establishing his family built crane company with his brother, John had no idea that this trip would bring forth the rise of JLG Industries, Inc. The world leader of mobile aerial work platforms and precision materials handling technologies was the end result of a road trip.

During their journey, John reacquainted himself with past business connections along the way. In combination with these conversations and a noteworthy event; two workers were tragically electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were passing through the Hoover Dam. John discovered a vast marketplace for a product that could promptly and safely lift people in the air to accomplish maintenance and other building functions.

After their return from vacation, John set up a partnership with two of his friends and purchased a metal fabrication company in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. Opening with a small crew of twenty staff, they fashioned and sold their first JLG aerial work platform in 1970. The business incorporates many of the simple design elements of that original lift into current designs.

Since then, JLG Forklifts have come a long way from when Mr. John L. Grove came back from his fatefull cross-country trip and since the first JLG aerial platform entered the marketplace. As of today, the business has extended itself into a number of international marketplaces and continues to cultivate contemporary machinery to ensure that consumers are able to become safer and more well-organized within their workplace.
