The JLG 1255 telehandler has been a solid addition to our job site. It’s surprisingly nimble for its size, and I remember a day in the middle of a project where we had to lift some heavy materials to a second-floor deck. That’s where the reach of this machine really impressed me; it made what could have been a complicated series of lifts a lot easier. The controls are pretty intuitive, too, which helped when my buddy, who’s not usually behind the wheel of heavy equipment, stepped in to give it a try. Overall, it’s reliable for both lifting and maneuvering, which is just what we needed. Definitely happy with the performance so far.
