JLG Telehandler Training London - Following retirement in the late 1960's, John L. Grove set out on a cross country RV trip. After spending many years establishing his family built crane business with his brother, John had no idea that this trip would bring about the rise of JLG Industries, Inc. The world leader of mobile aerial work platforms and precision materials handling equipment was the end consequence of a road trip.

During their trip, John reacquainted himself with former 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 discovered a considerable marketplace for a product that could swiftly and securely lift people in the air to accomplish upkeep and other construction functions.

Upon returning from their travels, John formed a partnership with two friends and acquired a metal fabricating company in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1970, opening operations with a crew of twenty workers, they designed and sold the first JLG aerial work platform. The company incorporates many of the basic design essentials of that original lift into current versions.

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 company proudly continues to expand itself into many marketplaces worldwide and develops new products to make sure consumers are capable of being more effective and perform in the workplace within a safer environment.
