The new JLG® 519 Compact Telehandler isn’t just a refreshed version of the G5-18A — it’s becoming the model. It’s what every crew wants on site, and every rental yard wants to carry.
Why? Because the new 519 delivers more where it matters most. Smaller footprint. Better performance. Packed with the kind of upgrades that boost productivity and performance, like a multifunction joystick and a cab that crews actually want to spend a shift in.
Add in more technology, up to 20% better fuel efficiency and smarter serviceability and you can see why the new 519 gets crews shouting “Dibs.”
DELIVERING WHAT YOU DEMAND
PERFORMS LIKE A BEAST
Improved load chart for confident lifts
More working capacity throughout the chart allows for greater productivity when placing materials.
Fuel efficiency that’s easier on fleet budgets
The Deutz 2.2 L 60 hp engine delivers up to 20% better fuel efficiency for greater uptime and lower operating costs.
Improved joystick for more efficient control
The multifunction, electric-over-hydraulic joystick includes auxiliary hydraulic function and attachment tilt for greater efficiency and less fatigue.
Attachment versatility that’s ready to handle every job
From forks to buckets to skid-steer attachments, the 519 is built to tackle more tasks so you can rely on fewer machines.
TECH THAT GETS THEM TALKING
Advanced control system unlocks smarter options
Intelligent features including Load Stability Indication (LSI) and Seatbelt Engagement and Operator Presence (SEAOP) gives crews more control and helps rental fleets customize performance.
LSI helps operators prevent overloading
A visual and audible alert system that helps operators know when they’re approaching capacity, so they can lift smarter and avoid costly mistakes.
SEAOP supports safe use
A high-vis seatbelt, audible alerts and built-in functionality limitations reinforce compliance every shift.
Remote diagnostics help speed up service calls
Access machine status and alerts instantly to reduce guesswork and get ahead of downtime.
ClearSky Smart Fleet™ IoT Platform
True back-and-forth interactivity with your fleet allows you to be proactive, not reactive, about monitoring usage, pushing diagnostics and more.
REDESIGNED INSIDE & OUT
Compact and versatile
A tight turning radius, narrow width and low machine height make navigating alleys and crowded job sites a breeze.
In-cab features that operators want
From enhanced joystick controls to better ergonomics to the optional multifunction LCD display with backup camera, happy renters make repeat renters, while positive word of mouth fuels demand.
BUILT TO BE WORKING, NOT WORKED ON
Optimized hydraulics for 44% less hoses and fittings
Fewer potential leak points result in faster service turnarounds, reduced maintenance costs and more uptime.
