Performance and Operating Advantages

The Cummins Turbo Diesel engine provides the backbone of this telehandler’s performance. Known industry-wide for durability and efficiency, Cummins power plants deliver consistent output in high-load environments while maintaining fuel economy. Turbo diesel performance ensures strong low-end torque, which is essential when lifting heavy loads or operating on uneven terrain. The 12000 pound lifting capacity allows this machine to confidently handle pallets of block, steel, lumber, and other dense materials, while the impressive 55 foot lift height enables placement at elevated work areas without repositioning.

The 72 inch carriage paired with 60 inch pallet forks provides a stable, wide load platform. This configuration improves load control, reduces material shifting, and enhances operator confidence when handling oversized or uneven loads. Foam filled tires are a major advantage on rough jobsites, eliminating downtime caused by flats and improving stability under heavy loads. Auxiliary hydraulics expand the machine’s versatility, allowing operators to run compatible attachments when needed. Outriggers add another layer of stability, particularly when operating at full reach or maximum lift height.

Operator Comfort and Control

Operator productivity is directly influenced by comfort and visibility, and this JLG 1255 Telehandler delivers on both. The enclosed cab with Heat and Air Conditioning allows for consistent operation regardless of external temperatures, making it suitable for year-round use. Clear sightlines, ergonomic controls, and a stable ride contribute to reduced operator fatigue during long shifts. The factory light kit enhances visibility in low-light conditions, supporting safe operation during early morning starts, evening work, or indoor projects with limited lighting.

Jobsite Applications

This used telehandler is well suited for a wide range of applications across construction, industrial, and commercial sectors. Its lifting capacity and reach make it ideal for structural framing, steel erection support, masonry work, and material staging. Warehousing and industrial facilities benefit from its ability to move heavy loads efficiently across yards and into elevated storage areas. Infrastructure projects such as bridges, utilities, and site development also rely on telehandlers like the JLG 1255 for their versatility and reliability. With auxiliary hydraulics and a stable platform, this unit adapts easily to evolving jobsite demands.
