In the late 1960’s John L. Grove, with his wife Cora started out on a cross country journey in their RV. Recently retired, after spending many years working with his brother to assemble their crane business into an industry leader, John had no idea that important trip would permit JLG Industries, Inc to emerge. The world leader of mobile aerial work platforms and precision material handling equipment was the end consequence of a road expedition.
During their journey, John reacquainted himself with past business connections along the way. In combination with these conversations and a significant event; two workers had been unfortunately electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were passing through the Hoover Dam. John discovered a considerable marketplace for a product that could promptly and safely lift individuals in the air to accomplish upkeep and other building functions.
Upon returning from their travels, John established a partnership with two friends and obtained a metal fabricating company in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1970, opening operations with a crew of twenty personnel, 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 designs.
JLG lift trucks have come a ways 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. These days, the business proudly continues to expand itself into numerous marketplaces worldwide and develops new products to make certain consumers are capable of being more effective and perform in the workplace within a safer environment.
