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, Wilson Jones, and Frank Nerenhausen.

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 called a traversing boom. JLG telehandlers have capacities from 5,500 to 17,000 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 and tier 4 final diesel 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. The last Lull-branded telehandlers were offered in 2015 and are no longer made.
