About JLG Industries

JLG Industries, a global leader in the design and manufacture of lift and access equipment, was founded in 1969 in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania, by John L. Grove. During a trip to the Hoover dam, Grove witnessed the accidental electrocution of two workers working on scaffolding; this impressed on him the need for equipment that could safely lift construction and maintenance workers in the air for the performance of an array of tasks.

The company sold its first aerial work platform in 1970 and its first scissor lift in 1976.

By 2015, JLG had manufactured its 100,000th telehandler.
