If you need to move loads over rough ground, you might be weighing a complete machine against a single repair part. The two listings that illustrate this choice are the Sellick SD-120 12K Diesel Rough Terrain Forklift (6,000 hours) and the replacement control handle for the JLG G5-18A telehandler. The used forklift is listed at USD 19,500.00; the new handle assembly is listed at USD 36.54. The two sit at opposite ends of the price spectrum, but they are not interchangeable. One purchase gets you a full machine; the other gets you a component. Those are not competing versions of the same product, but they represent a real decision: do you spend on a whole unit or on the part that brings your existing unit back into service?
Quick Verdict
If you are without a rough-terrain lift and need rated capacity up to 12,000 pounds at a 144-inch load height, the Sellick SD-120 is the only complete machine here. If you already own a JLG G5-18A and the control handle is the problem, the handle is a new, direct replacement part with a one-year manufacturer warranty and a much lower listed price.
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar | Condition | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sellick SD-120 12K Diesel Rough Terrain Forklift | USD 19,500.00 | Used | 12,000 lb capacity up to 144 in; 9,300 lb at 264 in | |
| JLG G5-18A Control Handle | USD 36.54 | New | Direct replacement handle assembly, part 70020769 |
Where Each Product Wins
- Sellick SD-120 wins for complete lifting capability: it is a diesel rough-terrain forklift with substantial capacity ratings.
- JLG G5-18A control handle wins for price and new condition: it is a direct replacement part with a one-year manufacturer warranty.
If your priority is lifting heavy loads on uneven terrain, the complete machine has the edge. If your priority is restoring a specific model with a single new component, the handle is the immediate answer.
Product Notes
Sellick SD-120 12K Diesel Rough Terrain Forklift 6K Hrs - Make An Offer
This used rough-terrain forklift is the whole solution. It has a 12,000-pound capacity rating at 144 inches and a 9,300-pound rating at its full 264-inch lift height with a 24-inch load center, so it targets serious material handling. One concrete reason to choose it is that it is a complete diesel rough-terrain forklift, not a component. A limitation: the rear-axle driveshaft was removed by the previous owner, so the forklift is represented and sold as 2WD; repairs may be needed to restore 4WD operation. If that condition is acceptable, it is a capable unit on paper. If you need four-wheel drive, this would be a concern.
For JLG Telehandler Rough Terrain Forklift Control Handle G5-18A Model 70020769
This Arellino handle assembly is a new part for the JLG G5-18A telehandler, with part number 70020769 and a one-year manufacturer warranty. It is a direct replacement part, so for an owner of that specific model, it is a way to replace a worn or damaged control handle without purchasing a whole machine. The concrete reason to choose it is the new condition and the comparatively small listed price. The limitation is that it does nothing for the rest of the telehandler; if you need more than a control handle, or your machine has other issues, this part alone will not solve them.
Final Choice by Use Case
- If you have no working rough-terrain forklift and you need to move heavy loads on uneven ground, the Sellick SD-120 provides the full machine, but be prepared to address the missing driveshaft.
- If you have a JLG G5-18A telehandler and the control handle is the failing part, the Arellino replacement is the lower-priced listed option that can get that specific component replaced.
- If you need a machine but cannot accept a 2WD setup, the Sellick's condition would require further work before it can operate as designed.
