All through their trip, John reacquainted himself with previous business acquaintances along the way. In combination with these conversations and a significant event; two workers had been tragically electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were passing through the Hoover Dam. John discovered an infinite marketplace for a product that could promptly and safely lift people in the air to accomplish upkeep and other building functions.
Upon returning from their travels, John established a joint venture with two friends and acquired a metal fabricating business in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1970, starting operations with a crew of twenty workers, they designed and sold the first JLG aerial work platform. The business incorporates some of the basic design essentials of that original lift into current designs.
JLG forklifts have come a long way since Mr. John L. Grove came back to town from his cross-country road trip and since the first aerial work platform debuted on the market. These days, the company proudly continues to expand itself into numerous marketplaces globally and develops new products to ensure customers are capable of being more efficient and perform in the workplace within a safer environment.
Starting the engine from cold is a good idea. Note whether there is too much smoke and the ease with which the engine turns over. This is particularly vital with IC engine trucks.
Testing the performance of the truck in tough situations must be included in the test run. A skilled driver could operate the truck in forward and reverse, up the ramp.
You can carry out your own inspection of an IC engine truck. On a clear area of floor, run the truck around for several minutes while a skilled operator tests the hydraulic functions. Then, examine the ground beneath for signs of fluid leakage. Even seemingly minor leaking can result in serious issues which would be really pricey to fix later on.
The masts and chains must be checked by a trained individual. Check with and without a load that the mast operates well. Watch for sticking or 'binding' of the mast. A warning indication is play in the mast channels or between the mast and fork carriage. Another is creeping forward or creeping down of the mast when loaded. These could be signs of problems with ram, valve or seals.
If the truck is not new, the mast may have been changed at some time. Make sure that the mast and any fitted attachments adhere to the rating plate on a truck.
