JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training St Catharines - Following retirement in the late 1960's, John L. Grove started out on a cross country RV expedition. 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 material handling equipment was the end result of a road expedition.

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

After returning from their vacation, John set up a joint venture with two of his friends and purchased a metal fabrication business in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. Starting with a small crew of twenty workers, they produced and sold their first JLG aerial work platform in 1970. The company incorporates some of the simple design elements of that original lift into existing models.

Since then, JLG Forklifts have come a great distance from when Mr. John L. Grove came back from his fatefull cross-country journey and since the first JLG aerial platform entered the market. As of today, the company has extended itself into a number of international markets and continues to develop new machines to ensure that consumers are able to become safer and more resourceful within their workplace.
