History
Founded in 1969, John Landis Grove formed a partnership with two close friends and bought a small metal fabrication business in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. With a crew of 20 workers, they built and sold the first JLG aerial work platform in 1970. Many of the basic design elements of that original lift are still being incorporated into products today. Since becoming part of the Oshkosh Corporation Company in late 2006, JLG has seen three appointed presidents. Craig E. Paylor was named president in 2006. Paylor was with JLG since 1978 and held roles primarily in the areas of sales, marketing and business development. During his nearly 30 years with JLG, the company grew from a $25 million company to over the $3 billion mark. Upon Paylor's retirement in 2010, Wilson Jones took his place. Jones was an Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president of Oshkosh's Fire and Emergency segment. On August 1, 2012, Wilson Jones was promoted to president and chief operating officer (COO) of Oshkosh Corporation. Succeeding Jones was Frank Nerenhausen, who is the current president of JLG and remains an Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president. Prior to joining JLG, Nerenhausen served as Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president of the Commercial segment and McNeilus. Nerenhausen brings 26 years of experience in key executive sales and finance positions with Oshkosh Corporation to JLG.

Telehandlers: JLG, Lull and SkyTrak
JLG offers three brands of commercial telescopic handlers: JLG, SkyTrak and Lull, which feature all-wheel steering, including two-wheel, four-wheel circle and four-wheel crab to meet various maneuverability requirements. Lull telehandlers have a unique precision placement system. JLG telehandlers have capacities from 5,500 to 12,000 pounds and heights up to 55 feet. The telehandlers come with a wide variety of attachments to assist with challenges on the job site. JLG telehandlers feature Tier 4i engines, which meet the EPA’s Tier 4 emission standards for nonroad diesel engines. These standards allow for a higher level of fuel efficiency and a reduced impact on the environment. JLG acquired SkyTrak and Lull in 2003.
