Updated Cross-checked against 1 government/public rate source
Buyers comparing telehandlers options will find the JLG 1055 spec'd as a mid-size machine, running a 134hp engine and 31,559 lb operating weight.
Compared against every other telehandlers page on this site, the JLG 1055's 134hp puts it at the lighter-duty end of the horsepower range for telehandlers models tracked here. By operating weight, it comes in at 14% of the heaviest telehandlers model in this dataset.
This $195,000 1055 runs as a 60-month $1-buyout capital lease in our model: 8.37% estimated APR puts the payment at $4,004/mo, ending in outright ownership rather than a residual payoff. For financing at this level, financing in this range usually sits in the middle of a lender's underwriting tiers — expect a credit and business-history review. Across the full 60-month term, total payments come to $240,232 — about $45,232 above the $195,000 cash price, which is the real cost of financing instead of paying up front.
At an estimated $4,004/month, this ties for #21 of 22 by estimated payment (tied with 1 other currently priced telehandlers model at this exact price point) — 35% above the telehandlers average of $2,964/mo.
Stacked together, Section 179 and 2026's 100% bonus depreciation mean the $195,000 price tag here isn't necessarily spread across years on a tax return -- a profitable business placing this asset in service this year could write off the full amount immediately, though the real dollar benefit depends on the buyer's tax bracket and total equipment spend for the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the estimated monthly payment for a financed JLG 1055?
An estimated $4003.86/month over 60 months at a base APR of 8.37%, including a $750.00 doc/origination fee.
Does the estimated payment change based on credit score?
Yes. The calculator above has 5 credit tiers, each adjusting this machine's 8.37% base APR: Subprime 12.87%, Fair 10.87%, Good 8.37%, Very Good 7.62%, Prime 6.87%. "Good" is the default tier shown; drag the slider to see the exact payment at your tier.
Is the JLG 1055 eligible for a Section 179 tax deduction?
Yes. Under the 2026 Section 179 cap of $2,560,000, qualifying businesses may be able to deduct the full purchase price in the year it's placed in service, subject to CPA verification.
Does 100% bonus depreciation apply to a financed JLG 1055?
Bonus depreciation was restored to 100% for equipment placed in service after January 19, 2025, and it applies more broadly than Section 179 -- it isn't capped by the $2,560,000 Section 179 limit and generally isn't affected by a business's Section 179-eligible income limit. Financing rather than paying cash doesn't disqualify a purchase from this: the full $195,000 placed-in-service cost is typically what counts, not the amount actually paid that year. Confirm applicability with a CPA before filing.
What's the total cost of financing this JLG 1055 versus paying cash?
Over the full 60-month term, estimated payments total $240,232 -- about $45,232 more than the $195,000 cash price. That difference is the estimated cost of financing (interest plus the $750.00 doc fee) rather than paying up front.
How much would a down payment lower the monthly payment on this JLG 1055?
Putting 10% down ($19,500 on this JLG 1055) reduces the estimated payment from $4,004/mo to roughly $3,605/mo at the same 8.37% estimated APR -- a real reduction, since a down payment lowers the amount actually financed rather than just the sticker price.

Resale value data is not yet available for this specific model.
What does a JLG 1055 rent for?
Washington State DES equipment rental contract (vendor: PapeRents) lists a current rental rate of $795.00/day for this machine — a real published rate, not our own estimate.
