JLG 1255 FEATURES AND SPECS
JLG 1255 Features
The JLG 1255 telehandler delivers superior strength and reach for demanding lift applications. Outfitted with a 130 hp Cummins QSF 3.8L engine and a 4-speed powershift transmission, the 1255 supports a 12,000 lb max lift capacity and a 55 ft lift height. Load-sensing dual gear hydraulics and a rugged 4WD system keep operations smooth and responsive, even on uneven terrain. The 1255’s wide frame, advanced suspension and precision joystick controls make it a workhorse across large-scale jobsites.
JLG 1255 Benefits
Designed for efficiency and adaptability, the 1255 excels in both material handling and personnel support. Attachment versatility includes towers, grapple buckets, work platforms and truss booms to suit nearly any lift scenario. Add-ons like reverse sensing, SmartLoad display and boom brushes boost safety and situational awareness. With optional arctic packages and air-conditioned cabs, the 1255 keeps operators productive in tough weather and long shifts.
