JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training Brampton - After retiring in the late 1960's, John L. Grove embarked on on a cross country RV expedition. After spending numerous years establishing his family built crane company 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 material handling equipment was the end result of a road expedition.

Whilst on their trip, John spent time talking to previous business associates whom the Groves stopped to see along the way. These conversations combined with a tragic incident-two workers being electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were going to the Hoover Dam- John uncovered an infinite market for a product that could quickly and securely lift individuals in the air to accomplish maintenance and other construction services.

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 workers, they designed and sold the first JLG aerial work platform. The business incorporates some of the simple design essentials of that original lift into existing designs.

Since then, JLG Forklifts have come a great distance from when Mr. John L. Grove came back from his fatefull cross-country trip and since the first JLG aerial platform entered the marketplace. As of today, the company has extended itself into several global marketplaces and continues to cultivate new machines to ensure that clients are able to become safer and more resourceful within their workplace.
