• Useful vertical reach: With a 20' lift height, the 525-60 places materials to second-story elevations, onto decks, and into trucks with confidence, helping trades stay productive without waiting on cranes or extra labor.
• Compact telehandler format: Purpose-built to work where space is at a premium, this JCB model supports efficient staging and material placement on tight urban infills, residential builds, interiors after structural openings, and congested commercial sites.
• Productivity-minded design: Telehandlers shine at fast pick, travel, and place cycles. The 525-60’s configuration supports quick turnaround from ground staging to working elevation, keeping crews on pace with schedules.
• Proven JCB durability: JCB’s reputation in material handling translates into rugged construction and service-minded design that helps limit downtime and extend machine service life when properly maintained.

Ownership Value

For buyers focused on total cost of ownership, this used JCB 525-60 positions you well. The telehandler format consolidates multiple material handling roles into one machine—reducing double-handling, expediting loading/unloading, and shortening the distance between staging and install points. A diesel telehandler like this typically benefits from strong parts support and broad technician familiarity, which can help maintain predictable service schedules. With 3,285 hours and a 2016 build, you get the utility of a modern, proven platform without the steep depreciation of new equipment. And because the 525-60 is a sought-after size range, its versatility supports both utilization and resale value in the future.

From a productivity standpoint, operators appreciate the telehandler’s ability to place material exactly where it’s needed. Over the course of a project, that precision reduces wasted motion and idle time across multiple trades. When paired with a job-ready diesel engine, the result is a machine built to deliver reliable results shift after shift.

Why This 525-60

This particular unit stands out to serious buyers for a few key reasons. First, the specification profile is right where many contractors need it: a 5,500# capacity supported by a 20' lift height gives you the working envelope to handle common building materials efficiently.
