When productivity is priority, this is the one you want.

Redesigned to Deliver

The new JLG® 519 Compact Telehandler isn’t just an update to the G5-18A — it’s the next standard. Built for rental fleets and job sites alike, the 519 offers a smaller footprint, smarter technology, and performance upgrades crews will notice immediately.

Highlights include:

• Multifunction joystick for precise, efficient control
• A redesigned cab operators actually want to work in

No wonder crews are calling “Dibs” on this machine.

Performance That Works Harder

• Improved load chart: Greater capacity throughout for more confident lifts.
• Fuel-saving Deutz 2.2L engine: 60 hp delivering up to 20% better efficiency.
• Multifunction joystick: Electric-over-hydraulic with auxiliary function and tilt for less fatigue.
• Attachment versatility: Forks, buckets, skid-steer attachments — one machine handles more jobs.
