Recently retired, after spending many years working with his brother to manufacture their crane business into an industry leader, John had no idea that momentous trip would permit JLG Industries, Inc to emerge. The world leader of mobile aerial work platforms and precision materials handling technologies was the end consequence of a road trip.

All through their trip, 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 market for a product that could swiftly and safely elevate individuals in the air to accomplish upkeep and other construction functions.

After returning from their holiday, John set up a partnership with two of his friends and bought a metal fabrication company in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. Opening with a small crew of twenty personnel, they produced and sold their first JLG aerial work platform in 1970. The business incorporates some of the basic design elements of that original lift into current designs.

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.
