JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training Cambridge - After retiring in the late 1960's, John L. Grove set out on a cross country RV voyage. After spending many 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.

While on their trip, John spent time talking to past business contacts 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 visiting Hoover Dam- John discovered an infinite marketplace for a product that could promptly and securely elevate individuals in the air to accomplish upkeep and other building functions.

Upon returning from their travels, John established a partnership with two friends and purchased a metal fabrication business in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1970, starting operations with a crew of twenty staff, they designed and sold the first JLG aerial work platform. The company incorporates some of the simple design essentials of that original lift into current versions.

Since then, JLG Forklifts have come a great distance from when Mr. John L. Grove returned from his fatefull cross-country trip and since the first JLG aerial platform entered the marketplace. As of today, the business has expanded itself into a number of global markets and continues to cultivate contemporary machines to guarantee that consumers are able to become safer and more efficient within their workplace.
