Condition

This used JLG 1255 telehandler has 2,193 hours and has been carefully evaluated by NLEQ prior to listing. Every unit we sell is inspected and tested so buyers receive accurate, honest, and reliable information. As with any used construction equipment, normal signs of use should be expected, but this machine is presented work-ready with the key functional systems verified, including travel, lift, and hydraulic functions. Serious buyers can request additional photos, videos, or schedule a live inspection to confirm the machine meets your application needs.

Advantages of This Configuration

• Cummins Turbo Diesel: Known across the industry for long-run reliability and strong low-end torque, this engine platform helps the JLG 1255 power up grades, lift confidently at height, and run efficiently through long shifts.
• 60" Carriage: The wider carriage improves load stability, especially with bulky or tall pallets. It gives operators a broader base for handling materials, which can translate to smoother placement and greater confidence when positioning at height.
• 60" Pallet Forks: Matched to the carriage width for balanced, stable lifting. The extra fork length helps when picking deeper pallets or staging wide loads, reducing re-rigging and improving efficiency.
• Foam Filled Tires: Far more puncture-resistant than air-filled tires, foam filled tires help keep the telehandler moving in harsh, debris-strewn environments such as demolition sites, recycling yards, and active construction zones.
• Auxiliary Hydraulics: Expands the tool set of the JLG 1255. With aux hydraulics, you can run compatible attachments such as brooms, buckets, pipe grapples, and other hydraulic tools, increasing the machine’s utility and ROI.
• 12,000 lb Capacity: Heavy duty lifting capability allows this telehandler to handle dense pallets of block, rebar bundles, formwork, structural members, and other heavy materials that lighter machines cannot manage.
• 55' Lift Height: Tall reach enables efficient staging on multi-story projects and over obstacles, reducing crane dependency and speeding up material placement to where crews actually need it.
• Factory Light Kit: Improves visibility during early starts, late finishes, or in shadowed areas of a complex jobsite. Better illumination contributes to safer operations and more precise placement.

Applications

• Commercial Construction: Move and place heavy palletized materials, steel, HVAC units, glazing packages, and roofing supplies at height on large projects.
• Masonry and Concrete: Handle block, stone, forms, rebar, and pre-cast components with the stability and lift capacity required for demanding masonry and concrete work.
• Industrial Facilities: Support plant maintenance and expansion with high-capacity material handling, staging mezzanine work, and feeding elevated work platforms.
• Infrastructure and Utilities: Reach over barriers and elevate pipe, conduit, utility boxes, and job supplies to elevated work areas safely and efficiently.
• Steel Erection and Framing: Lift beams, trusses, and packaged framing materials to upper levels, maintaining productivity while reducing reliance on crane time.
• Warehousing and Yard Operations: Load/unload trucks, organize outdoor inventory, and place heavy stock at height where conventional forklifts cannot operate.
• Energy and Oilfield: Transport heavy equipment, pallets, and supplies across rough terrain while resisting flats thanks to foam filled tires.

Ownership Value

Buying a used JLG 1255 telehandler delivers strong value: you get a high-capacity, tall-reach machine from a top brand without the premium new-equipment price. JLG’s broad parts availability and service network support long-term uptime, and the Cummins Turbo Diesel is widely respected for durability and serviceability. Features like the 60" carriage and 60" pallet forks help operators work faster and safer, while foam filled tires reduce unplanned downtime from punctures. Auxiliary hydraulics enable attachments, so a single telehandler can handle multiple tasks across the project, improving fleet utilization. With 2,193 hours and a 2019 build year, this machine strikes a desirable balance between modern features and proven, field-tested reliability, supporting lower total cost of ownership and strong resale prospects down the line.

Why the JLG 1255

The JLG 1255 stands out for combining capacity, height, and operator-friendly functionality into a single platform. Its 12,000 lb capacity and 55' lift height are a productive match for large commercial sites, yet it maintains the maneuverability contractors expect from a telehandler. The Cummins Turbo Diesel and JLG’s robust drive and boom systems are engineered for tough, repetitive cycles common to material handling. Add the 60" carriage and 60" pallet forks, and you get a stable, predictable lifting experience that helps crews place loads efficiently with fewer corrections. For buyers seeking a dependable, high-capacity telehandler capable of tackling heavy materials and tall placements, the JLG 1255 is a proven choice.
