Founded in the late 1960s and headquartered in Pennsylvania, USA, JLG became a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation in 2006. Its portfolio covers telescopic boom lifts, articulating boom lifts, scissor lifts, and vertical lifts, serving customers worldwide.
JLG operates manufacturing facilities in the USA, Belgium, and Tianjin, China. Since its Tianjin plant began operations in 2010, over 100,000 units have been delivered globally. In 2025, several "China-designed, China-made" strategic models are set for mass production, further strengthening its global supply chain.
Conclusion:
The global AWP industry is now characterized by steady growth from international leaders and rapid advances from Chinese brands. With accelerating technological innovation, smart manufacturing, and the shift to new energy, competition in the global market is set to become more diversified and high-end.
