JLG Introduces Redesigned 519 Telehandler
JLG has launched the redesigned 519 telehandler, a more powerful version of the G5-18A, featuring enhanced performance and comfort. The 519 boasts a 5,500-pound lift capacity, 18 feet 7 inches of lift height, and a 10 feet 10 inches forward reach. Its compact design, with a tight turning radius, narrow width, and low height, provides superior maneuverability on tight job sites.
John Boehme, JLG senior product manager, said, “The 519 offers rental companies, construction firms, and independent contractors a valuable tool for precise handling of materials on job sites.”
Key new features include:
- Improved Load Chart: The working zone at maximum lift capacity and forward reach is expanded.
- Advanced Control System: Includes options like Load Stability Indication (LSI), Seatbelt Engagement and Operator Presence (SEAOP), and ClearSky Smart Fleet diagnostics.
- Optimised Engine Performance: Powered by a 60-horsepower Deutz diesel engine, offering up to 20 per cent better fuel efficiency.
- Multifunction Joystick: Offers more versatility, with auxiliary hydraulic functions and attachment tilt capabilities.
- Redesigned Cab: The larger cab includes air conditioning, a multifunction display with a backup camera, and electronic load charts.
- Increased Serviceability: Fewer hydraulic hoses and fittings reduce potential leak points.
Like the G5-18A, the 519 is compatible with various attachments, including carriages, forks, buckets, hooks, and work platforms, thanks to its universal skid steer adapter.
