The Top 5 Features of the New 519 Compact Telehandler
Handles more. Hustles harder.
When schedules are tight and margins are tighter, your lift has to pull its weight—fast. The new JLG® 519 Compact Telehandler is a ground-up redesign of the G5-18A built to give time, control, and confidence back to crews and fleet managers.
1) Improved Load Chart = Real Productivity
Expanded working zones at max lift capacity and forward reach let operators place heavier loads at height with fewer reposition moves—cutting cycle times and boosting throughput.
2) Compact Footprint for Tight Jobs
At just 72" wide with a best-in-class 126" outside turning radius, the 519 glides through urban sites, residential lots, and congested laydown areas with ease.
3) Up to 20% Better Fuel Efficiency
A Deutz 2.2 L, 60 hp diesel optimizes performance while improving fuel efficiency—helping rental fleets lower operating costs without sacrificing capability.
4) Multifunction Joystick, Less Fatigue
The electric-over-hydraulic joystick integrates auxiliary hydraulics and attachment tilt so operators work faster with smoother metering and fewer reach-and-stretch motions all shift long.
5) Advanced Control System & Smarter Options
Unlock fleet-friendly features like Load Stability Indication (LSI), Seatbelt Engagement & Operator Presence (SEAOP), a multifunction display with backup camera and electronic load charts, plus improved diagnostics.
