The JLG 1255 is a heavy-capacity telehandler built for demanding material handling at height. It offers a 12,000-lb rated capacity, 55-ft maximum lift height, and 42-ft maximum forward reach, with outriggers required to achieve the stated capacity at maximum height and reach.

A Cummins F3.8L diesel engine, powershift transmission, selectable steering modes, and 25 gpm auxiliary hydraulic flow help support tough lifting and attachment-driven work. The spacious cab, adjustable suspension seat, single joystick, and integrated armrest are designed to improve operator comfort, while available visibility and stability features help support confident operation on busy jobsites.
