Advantages that Matter on Your Job

• Proven power with Deutz diesel: Deutz engines are renowned for durability, fuel efficiency, and aftermarket support. That means fewer interruptions, efficient performance, and strong parts availability—key advantages when uptime matters.
• Confident material handling: The rated capacity gives you the muscle to move pallets of block, bundles of lumber, trusses, and jobsite supplies with stability and control, reducing cycle times and minimizing re-handling.
• Work-ready height in compact spaces: The lift height puts materials exactly where crews need them on single- and two-story structures, mezzanines, and elevated platforms without bringing in a larger, harder-to-maneuver handler.
• Ground-friendly turf tires: Designed to reduce surface disturbance, the tires help protect lawns, athletic fields, finished grounds, and landscaped areas while still providing the traction you need on typical jobsite conditions.
• Compact footprint, big productivity: The G5-18A is known for tight turning and easy positioning. That translates into safe, efficient placement in driveways, near structures, and within confined areas where larger machines struggle.
• Operator confidence and control: JLG telehandlers are widely respected for intuitive controls and predictable handling, which can shorten the learning curve and help operators maintain precise load placement throughout the workday.
• Dependable JLG support network: JLG’s extensive dealer and parts infrastructure helps simplify ownership over the long term, from routine maintenance to wear parts and technical guidance.
• Well-aligned hours for the year: With 3,205 hours on a 2017 unit, you’re getting a machine that’s been used, not abused—evidence of practical, ongoing work without excessive wear that you might see on higher-hour machines of the same vintage.

Ideal Applications

• Residential construction: Move pallets of block, roofing materials, trim packages, and windows around tight sites and place them where crews can work safely and efficiently.
• Light commercial projects: Support steel, carpentry, MEP trades, and fit-out work with reliable load handling and accurate placement without over-sizing the equipment.
• Landscaping and grounds: Turf-friendly tires help reduce rutting and turf damage when delivering mulch, sod, stone, or hardscape materials on finished grounds and estates.
• Property and facility maintenance: Perfect for campuses, stadiums, and industrial facilities where routine lifts, maintenance tasks, and material handling must be done with minimal surface impact.
• Material yards and lumber operations: Efficiently load and unload deliveries, stage materials for customers, and keep operations moving during busy periods.
• Renovation and additions: Navigate established properties and confined access points while still reaching elevated work areas on additions and remodels.
• Municipal and parks departments: Maintain fields, facilities, and public spaces with a handler that manages loads effectively while respecting delicate surfaces.
• Agricultural support: Move feed, fencing, building materials, and light equipment around barns and outbuildings where tight access is common.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used JLG G5-18A from NLEQ delivers value on day one and over the life of the machine. The Deutz diesel platform is prized for long service intervals and predictable operation, helping control fuel and maintenance costs. Parts availability is strong, while the model’s popularity means technicians and rental fleets are familiar with service procedures. The compact size can reduce transport complexity and allow you to deploy the handler on more jobs, improving utilization. With pricing set at $39,875, you’re investing in a telehandler that aligns capability with cost, freeing capital for labor, materials, and additional equipment.

• Lower acquisition cost vs. new, with the performance today’s jobs demand
• Strong brand recognition supports long-term resale value
• Reliable powertrain minimizes downtime risk when maintained properly
• Compact design broadens the range of jobs you can pursue profitably

Why This G5-18A Stands Out

In the 18-foot class, the JLG G5-18A is a standout for versatility and ease of use. This 2017 unit pairs that reputation with a Deutz diesel engine, a load rating that handles the everyday materials contractors move most, and ground-conscious tires that expand where and when you can work. The hour count is right, the model is proven, and the package is already vetted by NLEQ. If you’ve been searching for a used JLG G5-18A telehandler for sale that blends capability with cost control, this machine deserves a spot at the top of your shortlist.
