JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training Kitchener - In the late 1960's John L. Grove, with his wife Cora set out on a cross country excursion in their RV. Recently retired, after spending many years working with his brother to build their crane company into an industry 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 technologies was the end consequence of a road expedition.

While on their journey, John spent time talking to previous business associates whom the Groves stopped to visit along the way. These conversations combined with a tragic occurrence-two workers being electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were going to the Hoover Dam- John discovered an infinite marketplace for a product that could quickly and securely elevate people in the air to accomplish upkeep and other building functions.

Upon returning from their travels, John formed a joint venture with two friends and bought a metal fabrication company in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1970, starting operations with a crew of twenty employees, they created and sold the first JLG aerial work platform. The company incorporates many of the simple design essentials of that original lift into current models.

JLG forklifts have come a long way from the time when Mr. John L. Grove returned to town from his cross-country road trip and since the first aerial work platform debuted on the market. Nowadays, the business proudly continues to expand itself into many markets globally and develops new products to make sure consumers are capable of being more effective and perform in the workplace within a safer atmosphere.
