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.

Aerial Work Platforms
- Electric boom lifts and Engine powered boom lifts
- JLG electric-powered and engine-powered aerial work platforms are designed for a variety of job sites, such as steel mills and chemical plants, airports, convention centers, shipyards and heavy construction. There are models with lift heights ranging from 30 feet to 185 feet, the worlds tallest self-propelled aerial work platform. JLG's exclusive QuikStik boom design delivers fast cycle speeds - 115 seconds from ground to elevation. In addition, JLG Ultra Series boom lifts come with the only oscillating axle in their boom class, providing enhanced mobility. The Ultra Booms also have full-time four-wheel drive for superior traction. In 2011, JLG introduced the award-winning 1500SJ, which is the first straight boom lift that takes workers to 150 feet without an oversized load permit (over weight permit is required for highway transportation).
- Scissor lifts
- JLG scissor lifts are available as both electric and engine-powered. The electric-powered scissor lifts can be used both indoors and outside whereas the engine-powered lifts are used on rough terrain and applications that require more workspace and lifting capacity. JLG introduced its first scissor lift in 1973, and in 1979, scissor lift production began in JLG's Bedford, PA location. In 2001, JLG's 100,000th scissor lift came off the assembly line in Bedford, PA.

JLG telehandlers feature Tier 4i engines, which meet the EPA's Tier 4 emission standards for nonroad diesel engines.
