JLG G10-55A Specifications

Basic Information

The JLG G10-55A telehandler is a high-capacity rough-terrain material handler engineered for demanding construction, industrial, and agricultural operations. Designed to lift 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) at a 24-inch load center, with a maximum lift height of 55 ft (16.8 m), the machine provides exceptional vertical reach, robust structural strength, and dependable hydraulic performance.

It is widely used for masonry, steel erection, multi-story construction, and heavy palletized loads. The model incorporates a Perkins 1104D turbocharged diesel engine, powershift transmission, planetary axles, wet-disc brakes, load-sense hydraulics, and multi-mode steering.

Known for reliability, operator comfort, easy maintenance, and strong performance across rough surfaces, the G10-55A is regarded as one of JLG’s most capable telehandlers in the 10k class.
