Condition

With only 100 hours on the meter and the benefit of NLEQ’s pre-sale testing and inspection, this 2023 JLG G5-18A shows as a clean, job-ready telehandler. Low-hour machines like this typically exhibit minimal wear, responsive hydraulics, and tight controls. The Heated & Air Conditioned Cab supports full-season operation without the fatigue associated with harsh temperatures, and the Foam Filled Tires help mitigate the risk of flats, which is especially valuable on debris-prone sites. As with any used equipment, buyers should expect normal, age-appropriate cosmetic signs of use, but this unit’s overall presentation and hours indicate a strong service life ahead.

Advantages

• Diesel power: Diesel engines are the standard for telehandlers for good reason. They deliver robust torque at low RPM for confident lifting and precise material placement, while offering broad fuel availability and familiar service routines on construction sites.
• Heated & Air Conditioned Cab: Operator comfort directly influences productivity and safety. A climate-controlled cab reduces fatigue, supports longer shifts in both hot and cold environments, and helps keep glass clear for better visibility during early mornings or inclement weather.
• Foam Filled Tires: Foam filling dramatically reduces the chance of a flat, keeping the machine in service and minimizing unplanned downtime. The added tire stability is beneficial on rough jobsites littered with screws, rebar, and other puncture hazards common to active construction zones.
• Low hours, late model: A 2023 machine with only 100 hours provides a modern operator environment with limited wear. Buyers can anticipate a longer runway before major component overhauls, reducing lifetime operating costs.
• JLG brand confidence: JLG is an established name in material handling and access equipment, known for component quality, broad dealer support, and strong parts availability—key factors that help keep your fleet productive.
• Compact telehandler versatility: The G5-18A format is well-suited to urban projects, interior yards, and sites with limited staging space, allowing you to position materials efficiently without bringing in larger equipment.

Applications

Contractors and facility teams choose compact telehandlers like the JLG G5-18A for a wide range of daily tasks across construction, industrial, and maintenance environments. Typical applications include unloading deliveries, staging materials at point-of-use, feeding crews on scaffolding, supporting carpentry and masonry work, assisting with light steel or MEP installs, and handling pallets in yards and warehouses. Landscapers and hardscape crews appreciate the maneuverability for moving block, mulch, and equipment around tight sites. If your projects revolve around the 5,000 capacity class of common jobsite loads—such as pallets of masonry units or bundles of framing materials—this size category is often the sweet spot for productivity. As with any purchase decision, always verify the specific rated capacity for the exact configuration of the machine and attachments you plan to use.

In addition to day-to-day construction work, this telehandler’s climate-controlled cab makes it a capable year-round solution for property maintenance teams and industrial plants where uptime matters regardless of weather. Foam filled tires further support consistent operation on active or unfinished surfaces where sharp debris is present.

Ownership Value

Value is measured by more than just the purchase price—it’s about uptime, operator acceptance, and long-term cost control. This JLG G5-18A telehandler, priced at $68,500, represents a compelling alternative to new equipment for buyers who want modern features without the steep initial depreciation. With only 100 hours, it should provide a long service horizon, which helps stabilize budgets and maximize return on investment.

The diesel powertrain supports fuel efficiency under load, and the Heated & Air Conditioned Cab encourages consistent productivity in all seasons. Foam Filled Tires reduce interruption costs from flats, a common but often overlooked expense on busy jobsites. Combined with JLG’s reputation for parts support and NLEQ’s commitment to transparent listings and pre-sale inspection, this telehandler positions you for predictable ownership.

This specific 2023 JLG G5-18A stands out because it pairs desirable features with low hours and a trusted inspection process. The climate-controlled cab enhances operator comfort, the Foam Filled Tires cut down on downtime, and the diesel engine delivers the torque you need for real-world material handling. For buyers who want a work-ready telehandler that can navigate tight spaces and help streamline site logistics, this unit checks the right boxes. The fact that it is a late-model machine with only 100 hours adds confidence for fleet managers focused on lifecycle cost and reliability.
