Every monumental leap in industrial progress usually starts with a simple desire to solve a dangerous problem. Prior to 1969, working at height was a precarious, inefficient challenge. Scaffolding took time to build, and ladders offered limited reach and compromised safety. John L. Grove looked up at these challenges and didn't just see a problem to be tolerated; he envisioned an entirely new way to work. His idea was straightforward but revolutionary: create a dedicated, mechanized solution for safely accessing work at height.

    That spark of ingenuity didn't ignite in a massive corporate facility, but rather in a modest metal fabrication shop in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. Armed with a vision and a dedicated crew of just 20 workers, Grove set out to turn his concept into steel and hydraulics. Through sheer grit and engineering determination, they conceptualized, built, and successfully sold the very first JLG® aerial work platform in 1970. In that single moment, Grove didn't just launch a new piece of equipment—he pioneered the entire modern access industry.

    Decades later, that foundational spirit of innovation continues to drive JLG Industries forward. The company has evolved from its humble Pennsylvania roots into a global powerhouse, shifting its focus from simply reaching new heights to fundamentally changing how work gets done. Today, JLG is dedicated to delivering advanced solutions that enhance operational performance, aggressively boost productivity, and maximize equipment uptime.

    At the core of everything they build is an unwavering commitment to safety, technology, and comprehensive lifecycle solutions. By continuously pushing the boundaries of what is possible, JLG ensures that the workers who rely on their platforms can support the world's progress, safely returning to the ground when the job is done.
