JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training Vaughan - In the late 1960's John L. Grove, with his wife Cora embarked on on a cross country trip in their RV. Newly retired, after spending many years working with his brother to build their crane company into an industry leader, John had no idea that important 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.

During their journey, John reacquainted himself with past business connections 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 an infinite marketplace for a product that could swiftly and safely elevate people in the air to accomplish upkeep and other building services.

Upon returning from their travels, John formed a joint venture with two friends and bought a metal fabricating company in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1970, starting operations with a crew of twenty workers, they built and sold the first JLG aerial work platform. The business incorporates some of the simple design elements of that original lift into current designs.

JLG forklifts have come a ways 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. These days, the business proudly continues to expand itself into various marketplaces globally and develops new products to make sure consumers are capable of being more efficient and perform in the workplace within a safer atmosphere.
