JLG Introduces Redesigned 519 Telehandler

2025-02-03

JLG has launched the new 519 telehandler, a redesigned model of the G5-18A that offers improved performance and enhanced comfort. The 519 telehandler provides a 5,500-pound lift capacity, with an 18 feet 7 inches maximum lift height and a forward reach of 10 feet 10 inches. Its compact design, including a tight turning radius, narrow width, and low height, increases maneuverability on confined job sites.

“The 519 is ideal for rental companies, construction firms, and contractors working on residential or commercial projects where precision material handling is essential,” says John Boehme, senior product manager at JLG. “With its upgraded capabilities and technology, this model is poised to compete effectively in the 5,500-pound telehandler market.”

New features include:

- An improved load chart with expanded working zones at maximum lift capacity and forward reach.

- An advanced control system offering options such as Load Stability Indication (LSI), Seatbelt Engagement and Operator Presence (SEAOP), and enhanced ClearSky Smart Fleet diagnostics.

- Optimised engine performance, with a 60-horsepower Deutz diesel engine providing up to 20 per cent better fuel efficiency.

- A multifunction joystick that offers greater versatility, including auxiliary hydraulic functions and attachment tilt.

- A redesigned cab with added comfort and safety features, including air conditioning, a multifunction display, and an optional backup camera.

- Increased serviceability with fewer hydraulic hoses and fittings to minimise leak points.

The 519 is equipped with a universal skid steer adapter, allowing the use of various attachments such as carriages, forks, buckets, hooks, and work platforms.
