Redesigned Telehandlers

JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh company and a global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, is in the process of redesigning its popular SkyTrak telehandler line, starting with the all-new 6034 and 6042 models. Featuring a redesigned build, reworked functionality, reimagined technology and refocused serviceability, these 6,000 pound maximum lift capacity telehandlers are ideal for pick-and-place applications, such as handling, loading and unloading bulk materials on demanding residential, commercial, urban and suburban jobsites.

The brand-new 6034 telehandler replaces the previous 6036 model, while the 6042 telehandler has been updated with new features inspired by the way customers work. For example, these updated units feature a lower operating weight — 14,500 pounds on the 6034 and 19,100 pounds on the 6042 — allowing for more efficient transport. These machines’ lightweight design with an optimized frame structure allows three 6034 models or two 6042 models to be hauled on a single flatbed trailer. In fact, the 6034 model is lightweight enough that it can even be transported with a standard pickup truck and trailer. 

The 6034 model offers a 34-foot lift height and 23 feet of forward reach. The 6042 model provides a 42-foot lift height and 29 feet of forward reach. Both the 6034 and 6042 offer three steering modes — 2-wheel, 4-wheel and 4-wheel crab — which operators can select as needed for better maneuverability. Additionally, these models have a 95-in width and smaller tires, giving them best-in-class maneuverability, while still maintaining their competitive 15-in ground clearance. The enclosed cab on these models is available with optional air conditioning for comfortable operation on hot or humid job sites.

“Understanding the demands and challenges crews face on work sites day after day, we redesigned the all-new 6034 and 6042 models with features and capabilities directly inspired by the needs of those who need them most,” said John Boehme, senior product manager – telehandlers, JLG. “These updated models deliver our customers’ most requested features, with zero sacrifice, proving yet again why SkyTrak is North America’s No. 1 best-selling telehandler line.”
