Condition

With only 739 hours, this used JLG G5-18A shows light, responsible utilization for its model year. The machine has been fully evaluated by our team, including operational checks of engine performance, hydraulics, steering and boom functions, and material handling components. It is serviced and ready to work, so you can put it straight into your fleet without losing days to shop prep. The foam filled tires provide dependable uptime and resilience on sites where nails, rebar, or debris can turn air-filled tires into a maintenance headache. The full fender kit adds protection from mud and overspray that can foul components or obscure visibility, helping the machine stay cleaner and reducing daily cleanup time. As with all NLEQ listings, the condition details you see are the result of hands-on inspection, not guesswork, so you can buy with confidence.

Advantages

• Deutz Turbo Diesel Power: The Deutz turbo diesel is well-regarded for dependable starts, strong torque, and fuel-efficient power delivery under load. In a telehandler, that translates to confident lifting, smooth boom control, and reliable performance through long shifts.
• Auxiliary Hydraulics: Auxiliary hydraulics expand capability beyond forks, opening the door to a range of compatible attachments. From grapple forks to specialized material handling tools, having aux hyds means you can tailor the G5-18A to the task instead of bringing in additional machines.
• Foam Filled Tires: Foam filling dramatically reduces downtime from flats and slow leaks, a common issue on active jobsites. It also helps maintain consistent ride height and stability, supporting predictable handling when traveling with a load.
• 50" Carriage with 48" Pallet Forks: A wide 50" carriage adds lateral stability and fork spread options for awkward or oversized pallets. The 48" forks are a versatile length for common building materials—lumber, block, roofing bundles, and site supplies—enhancing control when loading, unloading, and staging.
• 5,000 lb Capacity and 18' Lift Height: The G5-18A’s 5000# capacity pairs with an 18’ lift height to cover a broad range of everyday material handling needs. From truck-bed loading to moving product up to elevated work areas, these specs hit the sweet spot for many mid-size contractors and facility operations.
• Full Fender Kit: Fenders protect the chassis and help shield components and operators from spray and debris. That protection can reduce wear, keep steps and grab points cleaner, and improve overall site safety and housekeeping.
• Low Hours, 2021 Model Year: A 2021 unit with only 739 hours offers plenty of productive life ahead, giving buyers the benefit of a later model machine without the new-equipment price tag.

Applications

The JLG G5-18A telehandler is a natural fit for construction sites where space is limited but material flow can’t slow down. General contractors, framing crews, and masons will appreciate how the 50" carriage and 48" pallet forks handle mixed material sizes, while the 5,000 lb capacity covers everything from block pallets to lumber packs and jobsite supplies. Roofing and siding installers benefit from controlled placement at height, and landscape and hardscape teams can move stone, pavers, and bulk materials efficiently. The auxiliary hydraulics enable attachment versatility, allowing the same telehandler to adapt to niche tasks and seasonal needs. Facility and plant maintenance teams will value the 18' lift height for indoor/outdoor staging, loading docks, and yard operations, and the foam filled tires support work across gravel, packed dirt, and debris-strewn surfaces without flat-related downtime. If you run a rental yard, the G5-18A’s straightforward specs, JLG brand recognition, and versatile configuration make it attractive for diverse customer profiles—helping maximize utilization.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used JLG G5-18A with low hours offers compelling total cost of ownership. The Deutz turbo diesel’s reputation for durability helps contain operating costs, and the telehandler’s balanced capacity and lift height mean you can deploy it across many jobs, increasing utilization and accelerating payback. Foam filled tires and a full fender kit help reduce avoidable downtime and maintenance touches common on tough jobsites. With auxiliary hydraulics, you’re future-proofing your investment—adding attachments over time as your workload changes rather than swapping machines. JLG’s wide service network and parts availability further support long-term value, helping you keep the machine on the job and generating revenue. Buying late-model used at this hour count gives you dependable performance at a fraction of new replacement cost.

Why This G5-18A

Not all used telehandlers are equal.

Its 5000# capacity and 18' lift height give it the versatility most crews need, and the price point of $59,875 delivers excellent value versus new.
