Capacity at the limits
Maximum capacity does not apply at every height or reach. Use the load chart for the machine and attachment.
Overall dimensions
Measurement basis: Boom retracted and lowered to the front of the carriage; standard tires and front stabilizers stowed. Stabilizers-down width is retained only in the source record.

What the specifications mean
Maximum lift capacity, maximum height and maximum reach are separate points. Select the exact attachment and support condition on the load chart.
A high-reach telehandler reference for placing materials where capacity falls as the boom extends.
Alternatives worth comparing
These are research paths, not interchangeable configurations or a ranked winner.JLG 1055 Telehandler
The reference transport dimensions use a stowed boom and specified carriage/fork treatment. The job still requires a chart check at its actual reach and height.

Choose the actual fork carriage, tire and stabilizer arrangement before using the load chart. Do not combine independent maximums into one operating point.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used TH1055 inspection priorities
- Inspect boom wear pads, extension chains/cables as applicable, forks and carriage; verify stabilizer, indicator and chart documentation.
- Record the exact serial/PIN, installed options and inspection limitations. These are purchase inspection priorities, not claims of a model-specific failure pattern.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Compare the planned placement points and required repositioning, then account for tires, attachment and transport costs.
- Use the ownership calculator with quoted repairs, actual scheduled hours, utilization and transport costs; leave unknown assumptions visible.

Model-reference transport profile
Transport reference
Reference measurements retain their configuration and verification status. Confirm the actual transport setup before booking.
Reference specifications can differ from the actual configured machine. Confirm dimensions and weight before booking transportation.
Use the equipment transport dimensions worksheet to record this TH1055's actual travel configuration, measured length, width and height, weight evidence and any detached components. Send the completed record to the carrier with the loading details.
Confirm or replace before a transport request
- actual weight
- actual travel length, width and height
- attachments and removable work tools
- bucket, blade, carriage or boom position
- loading condition
