Condition

This Sany STH1256 has been carefully tested and inspected by NLEQ prior to being offered for sale, so you can count on accurate, honest, and reliable information.

Buyers seeking a late-model telehandler that is ready for immediate work will appreciate the clean presentation, solid operating feel, and straightforward documentation typical of NLEQ-listed machines.

As with all used equipment, availability and condition details can change based on continued use and time, but NLEQ’s process centers on providing serious buyers with a clear, fact-based picture of what they are purchasing. If you need additional photos, a live walkthrough, or a detailed conversation about this unit’s performance during inspection, our team is prepared to assist, so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Advantages

• Diesel power: The diesel configuration delivers the torque telehandlers rely on for lifting dense materials and traveling with load. Expect strong tractive effort for rough-terrain sites, efficient fuel usage over long days, and the dependable performance crews count on when handling pallets of block, steel, lumber, or heavy jobsite supplies.
• Heated & air conditioned cab: Operator comfort is not a luxury—it’s a productivity tool. A heated and air conditioned cab helps maintain visibility, alertness, and consistent productivity across temperature extremes. Crews are more likely to stay on task when they can work comfortably in winter cold or summer heat, day after day.
• 12,000 lb class capacity: With a 12,000-pound (12000#) lift capacity, your team can handle heavier pallets, larger bundles, and a wider range of attachments and loads without shuttling multiple trips. This reduces cycle times, increases crane-free handling on many tasks, and opens up applications that lighter telehandlers simply cannot tackle.
• 56' lift height: Reaching up to 56 feet gives contractors the vertical access needed for multi-story builds, roof work, elevated staging, and material placement at height. Fewer repositioning moves, better line-of-sight placement, and improved access translate directly to time saved and safer, more controlled handling.
• Modern, late-model build: As a 2023 telehandler, the STH1256 benefits from up-to-date engineering and operator ergonomics. Controls, visibility, and overall machine layout are designed for today’s jobsites, making it easier for operators to get comfortable quickly and perform efficiently.
• Low operating hours: At 760 hours, this unit offers a strong balance of affordability and remaining service life. Lower-hour machines typically show less wear and present fewer near-term maintenance surprises when compared to older, high-hour alternatives.

Applications

The Sany STH1256 is a versatile telehandler suited to a wide range of industries and job profiles where reach, capacity, and precise placement are critical. Typical use cases include:

• Commercial construction: Move and lift heavy pallets of block, brick, drywall, and roofing materials to upper levels without relying on cranes for every lift.
• Masonry and concrete trades: Stage materials at precise heights so masons and finishers can work continuously without delays or manual handling risks.
• Structural framing and roofing: Set trusses, sheathing, and bundles safely at height; feed crews on upper decks to keep schedules on track.
• Steel erection and industrial maintenance: Position components, tooling, and parts in elevated work areas while maintaining control and visibility.
• Site logistics and warehousing: Handle oversized loads in yards and outdoor storage areas where rough terrain and reach requirements exceed standard forklifts.
• Rental fleet addition: The 12,000 lb / 56' class is a core rental category with steady demand across seasons, offering strong utilization potential and attractive ROI.

Ownership Value

Value in a used telehandler stems from the intersection of capability, reliability, and total cost of ownership. This 2023 Sany STH1256 offers significant capability in the 12k/56' class while maintaining a cost profile that can fit real-world budgets. Diesel efficiency supports lower fuel cost per lift under load, and the ergonomic cab helps operators sustain productivity over long shifts—two factors that directly influence job profitability.

From a maintenance perspective, late-model machines generally benefit from refined component designs, improved sealing, and simplified service access, all of which can reduce downtime and keep routine checks efficient. The STH1256’s class-leading reach and capacity also allow owners to bid a broader range of work, consolidating tasks that might otherwise require multiple smaller machines or extra labor. When combined with NLEQ’s inspection-driven transparency, buyers gain predictable performance and a cleaner path to recouping their investment through daily utilization.

This Sany STH1256 checks those boxes decisively. It delivers the 12,000-pound capability and 56-foot lift height serious jobs demand, wraps it in a heated and air conditioned cab for all-season productivity, and does it with the efficiency and torque of diesel power.
