JLG

JLG Industries, Inc. is the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of access equipment, specializing in aerial work platforms and telescopic handlers that allow people to work safely and productively at heights.

Founded in 1969 by John L. Grove, who invented the first aerial work platform to solve the dangers of scaffolding, the company has spent over half a century defining the standards for the global access industry. Headquartered in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania, JLG’s engineering prowess is centered on its iconic “Orange” machinery, which includes a vast array of engine-powered and electric boom lifts, scissor lifts, and high-capacity telehandlers.

The company’s flagship products, such as the Ultra Series booms, offer industry-leading reach and terrainability, while its DaVinci® all-electric scissor lift represents the cutting edge of “green” construction technology by eliminating hydraulic systems entirely to prevent leaks in sensitive environments. JLG’s expertise extends beyond simple elevation; the company integrates sophisticated control systems, such as ClearSky Smart Fleet™ telematics, which provides fleet managers with real-time data on machine health, location, and battery status.

Through strategic partnerships, such as its manufacturing alliance with AUSA for compact dumpers and its acquisition of Hinowa for tracked atrium lifts, JLG has created a comprehensive ecosystem of job site solutions. By maintaining a relentless focus on its “People-First” safety philosophy and providing world-class training through the JLG University, the company ensures that contractors, facility managers, and rental companies can confidently tackle the most complex vertical challenges in construction, aviation, and industrial maintenance.
