Advantages of This Configuration

Built for productivity and operator confidence, the JLG 1055 is engineered to perform across a wide range of applications, from heavy commercial builds to industrial facilities. The features on this specific unit enhance that versatility and help crews maintain safe, predictable handling across changing conditions.

• Diesel power: A proven diesel powerplant delivers strong torque at low RPM, making starts under load, steady tramming, and hydraulic function smooth and consistent. For long workdays where fuel economy, longevity, and reliability matter, diesel remains the fleet standard.
• 48" pallet forks: Standard-length pallet forks are a practical match for common jobsite loads. They make quick work of transporting banded materials, block, rebar, bagged goods, and site supplies, and they fit well into tight staging areas and trailers, improving load access and placement.
• Foam filled tires: These minimize downtime from punctures and slow leaks, a major advantage on rebar-littered slabs, demolition debris, or new sites with scattered fasteners and scrap. Foam filling also contributes to stability and predictable ride characteristics under load.
• Outriggers for stability: When you’re placing heavy loads at height, stability is everything. Outriggers help the telehandler maintain a steady stance for confident placement, especially on uneven or partially compacted terrain, and they support precision at the top of the boom’s range.
• High-capacity rating: A robust capacity allows crews to move heavier pallets, bundled materials, structural components, and job boxes with fewer trips and less staging complexity. That efficiency translates directly into fewer crane picks and smoother logistics.
• Long-reach performance: With significant lift height, this machine can place materials on upper decks, over obstacles, and onto scaffolding or staging, helping crews keep production moving on multistory builds and tight urban sites.
• 4WD traction: Full-time four-wheel drive improves control in mud, gravel, and uneven terrain. It helps the machine stay productive when conditions turn, so you can keep schedules on track without waiting for perfect weather or ground conditions.

Applications

The JLG 1055 telehandler is a versatile tool carrier that pays for itself across multiple phases of construction and industrial work. Its combination of capacity, lift height, and stability extends the reach of your crew and reduces reliance on additional material-handling resources.

• Commercial construction: Move and place palletized block, steel studs, glazing crates, roofing bundles, and MEP components across floors and elevations to keep trades working efficiently.
• Concrete and masonry: Stage forms, rebar, and masonry units quickly, and place materials precisely to reduce manual handling and improve productivity and ergonomics for crews.
• Framing and building envelope: Lift sheathing, windows, doors, and cladding to mid-rise elevations and place them where installers need them, reducing time lost to staging and rehandling.
• Industrial plants and maintenance: Transport heavy spares, motors, and tooling across large facilities, and support outage work with reliable reach and handling capability.
• Lumber yards and distribution: Load and unload trailers, build outbound loads, and organize yard inventory with predictable efficiency, even on rough surfaces.
• Energy and utilities: Support substation work, site upgrades, and logistics on large infrastructure projects where reach and stability are essential.
• Rental fleets: A popular specification and respected brand that meets the needs of a wide customer base, driving utilization and dependable returns.

Ownership Value

Choosing a JLG telehandler is as much about total cost of ownership as it is about day-one performance. Known for robust build quality and widely available parts and service support, JLG machines are designed to deliver consistent uptime and straightforward maintenance over long service lives. Diesel power suits high-hour duty cycles, while common-wear items are engineered for accessibility to simplify routine service. Foam filled tires reduce the nuisance and cost of flats, outriggers support safer material placement at height, and 4WD helps maintain productivity despite changing ground conditions. The result is a machine that helps control operating costs while keeping schedules moving. For owners balancing budget and capability, buying a used 2017 unit at $74,500 delivers a strong value proposition: modern performance without the steep depreciation hit of new equipment.

Why This JLG 1055

Among large telehandlers, the JLG 1055 is sought after because it blends high-capacity handling with long-reach placement in a package operators trust. This machine’s specification is targeted to real-world jobsite demands: diesel power for torque and endurance, standard 48" pallet forks for everyday loads, foam filled tires to resist punctures, outrigger support for confident placement at height, a strong rated capacity for heavier materials, long lift height for multistory work, and 4WD for traction when surfaces are far from perfect. Factor in the 3,222-hour meter reading on a 2017 model and you have a compelling balance of capability and remaining service life. If you need a telehandler that can step directly into production and support multiple crews and phases without drama, this unit checks the boxes.
