JLG Telehandler

JLG Telehandler Training Brampton - Following retirement in the late 1960's, John L. Grove set out on a cross country RV voyage. After spending numerous years establishing his family built crane business with his brother, John had no idea that this journey 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 expedition.

Whilst on their journey, John spent time talking to former business associates whom the Groves stopped to visit along the way. These conversations combined with a tragic event-two workers being electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were visiting Hoover Dam- John discovered a considerable marketplace for a product that could swiftly and safely lift people in the air to accomplish upkeep and other construction services.

Following their return from vacation, John set up a partnership with two of his friends and purchased a metal fabricating business in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. Starting with a small crew of twenty staff, they produced and sold their first JLG aerial work platform in 1970. The business incorporates many of the simple design elements of that original lift into existing models.

Since then, JLG Forklifts have come a great distance from when Mr. John L. Grove returned from his fatefull cross-country journey and since the first JLG aerial platform entered the market. As of today, the business has expanded itself into a number of international markets and continues to develop contemporary equipment to ensure that clients are able to become safer and more well-organized within their workplace.
