JLG 1255

The JLG 1255 is a heavy-duty telehandler built for jobsites that need serious height and reach without sacrificing capacity. Rated to lift 12,000 lbs, it reaches 55 ft vertically and extends 42 ft horizontally, with outrigger stabilizers keeping the platform steady at full extension. A Cummins QSF3.8L Tier 4 Final diesel engine drives a Powershift transmission, while rear axle stabilization and a spacious single-joystick cab keep operators confident on uneven ground. At roughly 34,000 lbs, it suits crane-adjacent lifting, steel erection, and heavy material placement on commercial and infrastructure projects.
