JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training Windsor - In the late 1960's John L. Grove, with his wife Cora set out on a cross country voyage in their RV. Newly retired, after spending several years working with his brother to assemble their crane business into an market leader, John had no idea that fateful trip would permit JLG Industries, Inc to emerge. The world leader of mobile aerial work platforms and precision materials handling equipment was the end consequence of a road expedition.

While on their journey, John spent time talking to past business acquaintances whom the Groves stopped to see along the way. These conversations combined with a tragic event-two workers being electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were going to the Hoover Dam- John discovered a considerable marketplace for a product that could swiftly and securely elevate people in the air to accomplish upkeep and other construction functions.

Upon returning from their travels, John established a partnership with two friends and bought a metal fabrication business in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1970, starting operations with a crew of twenty workers, they manufactured 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 lift trucks have come a long way since Mr. John L. Grove returned to town from his cross-country road trip and since the first aerial work platform debuted on the market. Today, the company proudly continues to expand itself into different markets globally and develops new products to make sure consumers are capable of being more efficient and perform in the workplace within a safer atmosphere.
