Lull is a brand of rough-terrain telehandlers (telescopic forklifts) now manufactured by JLG Industries after the acquisition in 2006. Lull telehandlers are recognized for their patented sliding carriage design, which provides precise side-to-side load positioning for construction, masonry, roofing, steel erection, and material staging. New Lull units are sold through JLG dealers; the available market in 2026 is predominantly used and auction equipment.

Buying Considerations
Lull vs. Other Telehandlers: Lull‘s patented sliding carriage design allows for precise side-to-side load positioning, making them ideal for tight or elevated work areas.
New vs. Used: New Lull telehandlers are available through JLG dealers. Used units offer significant savings but require thorough inspection of hours, engine condition, hydraulic systems, and mast wear.
Auction Risks: Most auction units are sold “as-is, where-is” with no warranty. Some units may have hydraulic issues, water damage, or vandalism.
Key Specifications: Check lift capacity (6,000–10,000 lbs), lift height (35–54 ft), engine type (John Deere or Cummins diesel), hours (1,600–8,000+ hours typical), tire condition (13.00-24 or 14.00-24), and cab configuration (open or enclosed).
Financing: Available through most dealers and auction platforms; lease-to-own options may be available.
