JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training Ottawa - Following retirement in the late 1960's, John L. Grove embarked on 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 forth the rise of JLG Industries, Inc. The world leader of mobile aerial work platforms and precision materials handling technologies was the end result of a road trip.

All through their journey, John reacquainted himself with former business acquaintances along the way. In combination with these conversations and a significant event; two workers were unfortunately electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were passing through the Hoover Dam. John uncovered a substantial marketplace for a product that could promptly and safely elevate individuals in the air to accomplish upkeep and other construction functions.

After returning from their holiday, John set up a business with two of his friends and obtained a metal fabrication company in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. Starting with a small crew of twenty workers, they fashioned and sold their first JLG aerial work platform in 1970. The company incorporates some of the basic design elements of that original lift into existing designs.

JLG forklifts have come a ways since Mr. John L. Grove came back 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 numerous marketplaces worldwide and develops new products to make sure clients are capable of being more efficient and perform in the workplace within a safer atmosphere.
