JLG Forklift Parts

After retiring in the late 1960's, John L. Grove started out on a cross country RV voyage. After spending many years establishing his family built crane business with his brother, John had no idea that this journey 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 trip.

All through their trip, John reacquainted himself with former business connections along the way. In combination with these conversations and a significant event; two workers were tragically electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were passing through the Hoover Dam. John uncovered a considerable marketplace for a product that could swiftly and securely lift individuals in the air to accomplish maintenance and other building functions.

After returning from their holiday, John set up a partnership with two of his friends and bought a metal fabricating business in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. Starting with a small crew of twenty employees, they produced and sold their first JLG aerial work platform in 1970. The company incorporates many of the basic design elements of that original lift into existing versions.

Since then, JLG Forklifts have come a long way from when Mr. John L. Grove returned from his fatefull cross-country journey and since the first JLG aerial platform entered the marketplace. As of today, the company has extended itself into a number of global marketplaces and continues to develop modern equipment to guarantee that customers are able to become safer and more efficient within their workplace.
