The JLG® G5-18A telehandler has undergone a significant refresh. As part
of the product changes, the model nomenclature has changed from
G5-18A to 519. The new 519 telehandler delivers a range of enhancements to boost productivity, operator confidence, and serviceability on the job site.
Improved load chart
The 519’s load chart has been optimized, expanding the working zone at maximum lift capacity and forward reach. This allows operators to work more confidently when handling heavier loads at extended reach.
Advanced control system
The new control system enables additional productivity-boosting features, including Load Stability Indicator (LSI), Seatbelt Engagement and Operator Presence (SEAOP) and enhanced diagnostics through JLG’s ClearSky Smart Fleet™ IoT (Internet of Things) platform.
LSI senses when the telehandler reaches forward load capacity, while SEAOP integrates seatbelt engagement assurance and operator presence functionality, using visual and audible alarms and limiting machine functions, as well as a high-visibility orange seatbelt.
Remote diagnostics and improved troubleshooting provide richer telematics and connectivity data.
Powerful yet efficient engine
The 519 is powered by a Deutz 2.2L 60 hp diesel engine, which delivers optimized performance while improving fuel efficiency by 10-20% compared to the previous model. This helps reduce operating costs and environmental impact.
Multifunction joystick
The electric over hydraulic joystick offers greater versatility, with auxiliary hydraulic function and attachment tilt capabilities. This enables operators to take on a wider range of tasks and attachments from a single control interface.
Redesigned cab
The completely redesigned cab provides operators with a more spacious and comfortable work environment. Options like air conditioning, a multifunction display with a backup camera, and tilt steering further elevate operator confidence and productivity.
Increased serviceability
Significant reductions in hydraulic hoses and fittings (44%) enhance serviceability by minimizing potential leak points. This helps reduce maintenance time and costs.
JLG carried many important features from the G5-18A into the design of the new 519, including:
• Excellent maneuverability: Tight-turning radius, narrow width and low machine height allow for exceptional maneuverability on crowded job sites.
• Versatility: Equipped with a universal skid steer adapter, operators can use various attachments, including carriages, forks, buckets, hooks and work platforms, to perform multiple job site tasks.
With these substantial upgrades, the new JLG 519 telehandler is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of rental companies, construction firms, and independent contractors, like homebuilders and masons, who need a robust and reliable pick-and-place machine to handle job site materials. Its enhanced performance, productivity and serviceability make the 519 a compelling choice in the 5,500-lb telehandler category.
