Description
The 2013 JLG 1255A is a high-capacity telehandler built for heavy lifting and precise load placement on demanding construction sites. It combines a 12,000 lb (5,443 kg) maximum lift capacity with a 55 ft (16.8 m) lift height, reaching loads other machines cannot while handling serious weight.
A 130 HP diesel engine and Powershift transmission deliver smooth, confident performance, and three steering modes (four-wheel, two-wheel, and crab) make the 36,070 lb (16,361 kg) machine surprisingly maneuverable in tight quarters. A 3,500 psi (241 bar) hydraulic system drives fast, controlled boom and attachment functions.
