Condition

With just 510 hours, this JLG 1255 telehandler reflects light usage for its age and class. As with all equipment offered by NLEQ, it has been carefully tested and inspected prior to listing so buyers can make decisions with confidence. The late model year coupled with modest hours makes this unit an attractive option for companies that value dependable performance and reduced downtime. Expect normal signs of operation consistent with a properly used machine; the emphasis here is on a solid, field-ready telehandler with clear, straightforward specs you can trust.

NLEQ’s inspection-driven approach is designed to deliver reliable, fact-based condition information. That means the key working systems—lift, drive, and stability aids like outriggers—are evaluated so you can focus on productivity, not guesswork.

Advantages

• High-capacity lifting: The 12000 Capacity rating gives you the ability to move and place heavier loads without resorting to multiple machines or additional handling steps, improving job efficiency and reducing cycle times.
• Serious reach: Lift Height 55(ft.) allows you to service multi-story builds, set trusses, place heavy pallets on elevated decks, or handle materials over obstacles where standard forklifts cannot reach.
• 4WD traction: The 4WD drivetrain helps maintain control and productivity on uneven, muddy, or loose ground. Crews can keep working when conditions change, which is essential for real-world jobsite schedules.
• Stability support: Outriggers add a critical layer of stability for picks near the operational limits of capacity or outreach, helping crews work with confidence when precision placement matters.
• Durable tires: Foam Filled Tires resist flats and sidewall damage that can halt a job. This reduces downtime and maintenance calls, keeping the telehandler in service during demanding phases of construction.
• Diesel power: Diesel delivers strong torque for lifting and travel, ideal for heavy loads and grade work. It’s the dependable choice for high-output telehandler applications.
• Low-hour, late-model value: A 2022 machine with 510 hours gives owners a favorable balance of modern design and remaining service life, supporting better uptime and long-term utilization.
• Proven brand: JLG’s 1255 platform is widely regarded in the industry, which supports operator familiarity, parts availability, and strong residual value for fleet managers.

Applications

The JLG 1255 telehandler is built to handle material placement tasks that demand both strength and reach. With 12000 Capacity and Lift Height 55(ft.), it is a fit for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects where access and elevation are key. Whether you’re staging materials on upper floors or moving heavy pallets across uneven terrain, this machine is designed to keep production moving.

• Structural and framing work: Lift and position lumber, steel beams, panels, and trusses at height, utilizing 4WD and outriggers for confident placement.
• Masonry and envelope trades: Move block, brick, mortar, and façade materials to elevated work areas efficiently, reducing manual handling and time at height.
• Industrial maintenance: Support plant turnarounds and facility upgrades by transporting heavy components where conventional forklifts cannot go.
• Site logistics: Stage and restage bundled materials, equipment, and pallets across rough terrain with fewer trips thanks to the 12000 Capacity rating.
• Rental fleets: The sought-after JLG 1255 specification set—Diesel, 4WD, Foam Filled Tires, and Outriggers—makes this model a strong earner with broad customer appeal.

Ownership Value

Ownership ROI on a telehandler is driven by uptime, capability, and residual value. This JLG 1255 telehandler checks those boxes. The combination of Diesel power and 4WD keeps productivity high across changing site conditions. Foam Filled Tires reduce downtime from flats and damage. Outriggers extend the machine’s effective use in scenarios that demand added stability for precise placements.

From a capability standpoint, 12000 Capacity and Lift Height 55(ft.) let one machine do more, which can reduce the need for supplemental equipment on complex jobs. That means fewer mobilizations, simplified logistics, and less operator juggling. As a 2022 model with only 510 hours, this unit also carries favorable long-term value: newer components, modern operator expectations, and a specification set that will remain relevant across multiple project types.

JLG’s industry presence supports parts sourcing and service familiarity, helping owners keep maintenance predictable. For fleet managers tracking utilization rates, the 1255’s broad application range and recognizable model designation are assets when planning assignments or considering future resale.
