Advantages and What These Features Mean in Practice

• Cummins diesel power: Cummins is synonymous with durability, torque, and long service intervals. In a telehandler application, that translates into strong tractive effort for moving across rough terrain, confident hydraulic performance when booming out with a load, and proven reliability that reduces downtime.
• Diesel fuel efficiency and torque: Diesel power delivers the low-end torque telehandlers need for pick-and-carry tasks, uneven jobsite grades, and heavy lifts. Expect efficient fuel use during long-duty cycles, an important factor on large commercial builds and industrial sites.
• Heat & AC cab: All-season operator comfort boosts productivity. A climate-controlled cab helps operators stay focused, reduces fatigue, and keeps windows clear in extreme temperatures—critical for visibility when placing loads at height.
• 60" carriage width: The wider carriage provides excellent fork spread for load stability, especially with bulky or long materials like pipe bundles, trusses, or prefab components. It helps reduce load sway and allows more precise placement.
• 60" pallet forks: Longer 60-inch pallet forks provide better engagement with deep pallets, longer loads, and irregular materials. This added fork length improves load control and expands what you can safely handle on site.
• Foam filled tires: Foam filling dramatically reduces the risk of flats from nails, rebar, and debris. The result is less unplanned downtime and more consistent machine availability. Foam filled tires also add stability and reduce bounce compared to air-filled tires on rough terrain.
• Outriggers: Outriggers increase stability for high-reach placements, helping you confidently utilize rated capacity at extension and on uneven ground. They are a practical safety and performance enhancer when working at or near the telehandler’s limits.
• 12,000 lb capacity: A 12,000-pound class telehandler covers a wide range of material handling needs—steel, masonry, lumber, mechanical equipment, and more. It gives foremen flexibility to tackle heavier lifts without bringing in a crane for every task.
• 55 ft lift height: With a maximum lift height of 55 feet, the JLG 1255 reaches multi-story structures, rooflines, mezzanines, and elevated platforms. This makes it a strong choice for mid-rise construction and industrial maintenance where vertical reach matters.
• Brand new with full factory warranty: New condition and OEM-backed warranty minimize early-life risk, simplify budgeting, and provide direct access to factory support. It’s a smart way to put a flagship telehandler to work with maximum confidence.

Applications and Industry Relevance

The JLG 1255 telehandler is a natural fit for contractors and facility teams that demand heavy-duty reach and capacity with day-in, day-out reliability. The Cummins diesel powerplant, 12,000 lb capacity, 55 ft lift height, and stability-enhancing outriggers combine to cover tasks that range from routine material handling to precision placements at elevation. The 60-inch carriage and 60-inch pallet forks make this unit especially versatile with long or oversized loads, while foam filled tires support uninterrupted operation on debris-strewn jobsites.

• General contracting and commercial builds: Move structural steel, HVAC units, and palletized materials across large sites and up to multi-story elevations.
• Masonry and precast: Position block, brick, and precast components confidently with capacity and reach, stabilizing with outriggers when needed.
• Framing and truss setting: Handle long lumber bundles and roof trusses with the stability of a 60" carriage and longer 60" forks.
• Industrial maintenance and plants: Support shutdowns and turnarounds with a high-reach material handler capable of placing parts, piping, and equipment precisely.
• Lumber yards and building supply: Load and unload long or heavy bundles efficiently, reduce flats with foam filled tires, and keep material moving.
• Infrastructure and utilities: Reach elevated work areas on bridges or facilities, and handle heavy components safely with a 12k telehandler.

Ownership Value

JLG telehandlers are renowned for their resale value, parts availability, and robust dealer support. Combined with proven Cummins diesel power, the 1255 delivers a practical balance of power, reach, and serviceability. Foam filled tires cut tire-related downtime, the Heat & AC cab keeps operators productive year-round, and the wide 60-inch carriage paired with 60-inch pallet forks broadens the scope of tasks you can perform with a single machine. For fleet managers and owner-operators alike, these characteristics contribute to a lower total cost of ownership and better return on investment.

• High utilization potential: 12,000 lb capacity and 55 ft lift height mean the unit can be dispatched to more jobs and handle more task types.
• Reduced downtime: Foam filled tires, reliable Cummins diesel power, and brand new condition help keep the machine working instead of waiting on repairs.
• Operator acceptance: A climate-controlled cab supports focus and safety, improving day-to-day productivity.
• Resale strength: JLG brand reputation and 1255 model demand support strong residual value when it’s time to rotate equipment.
