Condition

With just 22 hours, this 2025 JLG 1255 presents exceptionally light use—exactly what discerning buyers look for when they want productivity without the lead time or price tag of a brand-new machine. As with every listing at NLEQ, this unit has been carefully tested and inspected prior to being offered for sale. Operational functions are verified so you can focus on planning your work, not your service calls. The Cummins Diesel starts reliably and runs as expected, controls are responsive, and the Heated & Air Conditioned Cab supports visibility and comfort. The low-hour status also means major components, pins, and bushings have seen minimal cycles, which helps reduce near-term maintenance requirements when the machine goes to work.

Advantages

This JLG 1255 telehandler is engineered for productivity in real-world jobsite conditions. Its specification and feature set deliver meaningful advantages to crews handling heavy loads at significant heights:

• Power you can trust: The Cummins Diesel delivers the torque and reliability that professional operators demand for lifting, traveling, and staging materials. The torque curve and fuel characteristics of a proven diesel platform help sustain power under load and resist bogging in tough situations.
• Operator comfort and control: A Heated & Air Conditioned Cab keeps the operator focused and efficient in hot summers and cold winters alike. Maintaining a clear, comfortable environment helps reduce fatigue over long shifts and supports better, safer decision-making at height.
• Stable lifting: Outriggers add crucial stability when handling heavy loads, especially when lifting to the upper end of the machine’s capability. With stabilizers deployed correctly, operators can position loads with more confidence and precision.
• Wide load handling: The 60" Carriage offers generous width for stabilizing pallets, long materials, and bulky items. It helps center loads, improve fork spacing options, and reduce the tendency for materials to shift during travel or placement.
• Serious capacity: A 12000 Capacity rating gives crews the headroom to move dense materials—think masonry, steel, and large bundles—without constant reconfiguring. The result is fewer trips, greater throughput, and more efficient use of manpower and equipment.
• High reach capability: With a Lift Height 55(ft.), the JLG 1255 reaches where standard equipment can’t. That vertical performance opens up logistics options for staging materials directly at elevated work areas, reducing crane reliance and speeding up sequencing.

These combined attributes translate directly into faster load cycles, fewer delays, and increased jobsite flexibility. For contractors who need to lift heavy, place high, and keep projects moving, this configuration checks the boxes.

Applications

The JLG 1255 is well-suited to a wide range of industries and jobsite tasks. Its capacity, reach, and stability make it a strong choice for:

• General construction: Move and stage pallets of block, lumber packs, rebar bundles, and job boxes where crews need them—ground level or at height.
• Structural and exterior work: Support steel erection, framing, and façade work by placing materials at elevated work points, reducing manual handling and downtime.
• Masonry and concrete trades: Lift heavy block, forms, and bulk materials efficiently; maintain steady throughput with fewer lifts and fewer trips.
• Roofing and building envelope: Hoist membranes, insulation, and equipment to upper levels, streamlining site logistics and minimizing bottlenecks.
• Industrial facilities and yards: Manage large, dense loads in manufacturing, distribution, or material yards with stable placement and controlled handling.
• Rental fleet deployment: The blend of capacity, height, and cab comfort helps drive utilization across diverse customer needs, from commercial builds to infrastructure.

Wherever high-capacity lifting and elevated placement are key, a JLG 1255 telehandler offers the versatility and control to keep production on schedule.

Ownership Value

Owning a low-hour 2025 JLG 1255 helps control costs and protect productivity. The Cummins Diesel powerplant aligns with common service practices and parts availability in most markets, simplifying maintenance planning. JLG’s brand reputation for telehandlers supports long-term parts and service access, and the market’s recognition of the 1255 platform can help protect resale value down the line. Because this unit shows only 22 hours, you start with an advantage: less wear on critical components and more of the machine’s usable life ahead of you. Add the Heated & Air Conditioned Cab, Outriggers, and 60" Carriage, and you have a configuration that meets the needs of demanding jobs today and remains broadly desirable for future projects or potential resale.

Why This 1255

Not all telehandlers are created equal, and not all used machines are equally compelling. This particular JLG 1255 stands out due to its combination of low hours, current model year, and job-ready features. The robust Cummins Diesel supports dependable lifting performance; the Outriggers add stability when it matters most; the wide 60" Carriage makes pallet handling and load centering easier; and the Heated & Air Conditioned Cab encourages consistent, safe operation across seasons. The 12000 Capacity and Lift Height 55(ft.) make it a go-to solution for heavier materials and taller structures, reducing the need to juggle multiple machines for different parts of the job. For buyers aiming to maximize daily output and reduce delays, this is a configuration designed for results.
