Which JLG Telehandler Should You Buy? Parts, Decals, and a New E313

From a $38.99 replacement control handle to a $54,000 new electric reach telehandler, this guide compares four JLG-related purchases and helps you match the right option to your needs.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

If you're shopping for forklifts and telehandlers, the range of options can be surprisingly wide. In this set, the listed prices go from $38.99 to $54,000. That spread means the real task is matching the purchase to your situation, not simply picking the biggest or most expensive item.

Quick take

For anyone working on a G5-18A model JLG telehandler, the replacement control handle is the lowest-priced item here and a direct, OEM-numbered part. If you own a JLG 10054 telehandler and want to refresh its appearance, the decal kit is a new cosmetic option. A JLG fan looking for a display piece can consider the used 1:32 diecast model. On the heavy-equipment side, the new JLG E313 electric reach forklift with cab is the only full machine here and carries the highest listed price.

Product notes

JLG 8042 1:32 Scale Diecast Telehandler/Box

JLG 8042 1:32 Scale Diecast Telehandler/Box

This used diecast model is for the collector rather than the job site. The original box is included, but a side mirror is broken and minor paint chips appear in several spots. It's graded C-6 Very Good under TCA standards, so you're getting a display piece with visible signs of age. If you're shopping for a JLG telehandler-themed shelf item, this scale model gives you a recognizable 8042 shape without the cost of a full machine. The main limitation is that it's not a working telehandler and shows the cosmetic wear you'd expect from a used model.

Control Handle For G5-18A model JLG telehandler rough terrain forklift 70020769

Control Handle For G5-18A model JLG telehandler rough terrain forklift 70020769

This new control handle is the most straightforward repair item in the group. It uses OEM part number 70020769 and fits the G5-18A model JLG telehandler and rough terrain forklift. The part is a handle assembly, so it's a direct replacement for that model's control handle. The limitation is its narrow fit: if you don't work with a G5-18A, this handle won't help. It's a component, not a complete assembly or a machine.

Fits JLG 10054 Decal Kit Telehandler - 8 YEAR OUTDOOR - 3M VINYL

Fits JLG 10054 Decal Kit Telehandler - 8 YEAR OUTDOOR - 3M VINYL

This decal kit is aimed at restoring the original look of a JLG 10054 telehandler. It's new, made of 3M vinyl, and rated for 8-year outdoor use, with a United States country of origin. It's a cosmetic refresh rather than a mechanical repair. If the machine's decals are fading or damaged, this kit can bring back a cleaner appearance. The limitation is that it's for the 10054 model specifically, and it only addresses appearance. It won't change performance or fix mechanical issues.

2025 JLG E313 13' 3,500 lbs Electric Reach Forklift Telehandler Cab bidadoo -New

2025 JLG E313 13' 3,500 lbs Electric Reach Forklift Telehandler Cab bidadoo -New

This is the full-size purchase in the comparison. The 2025 JLG E313 is new from bidadoo, with 1 hour on the meter, an enclosed cab, and an electric reach design with a 13-foot reach and 3,500 lbs capacity. A bidadoo 100% Guarantee is included, plus a $329 administrative and handling fee. If you need an actual lift-capable telehandler for a work site, this is the only option in the group that qualifies. The obvious limitation is the high list price, along with the extra fee.

Final recommendation

If you need a working machine, the 2025 JLG E313 is the clear match, with its new condition, cab, and electric reach specifications. For a parts-focused shopper with a G5-18A, the control handle is the most direct low-cost repair item. If the goal is a cosmetic refresh for a 10054 telehandler, the decal kit matches that task. And for a JLG display piece, the used 8042 diecast model is the only collector-oriented choice in this set. Let your job decide: each of these four products fits a different need.
