JLG has launched a new SkyTrak telehandler, the 6034, and redesigned its 6042, with both featuring 6,000 pounds of lifting capacity and lighter operating weight for easier transport.
The company says the new 6034, which replaces the 6036, is light enough at 14,500 pounds to be hauled with a standard pickup and trailer. The 6042 weighs 19,100 pounds, two of which can fit on one flatbed trailer.
The 6034 has a lift height of 34 feet and forward reach of 23 feet. The 6042 has a 42-foot lift height and 29-foot forward reach. They are narrower, at 95 inches wide, and get smaller tires for a tighter turning radius.
JLG says they are ideal for handling, loading and unloading bulk materials on a variety of jobsites. They both run on a 74-horsepower Deutz diesel engine that doesn’t require diesel exhaust fluid to meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards.
The cab gets a new design and has a larger LCD screen for displaying more data and larger single-page load charts. The telehandlers also get a new advanced control system that can handle such options as load stability indication, which senses forward load capacity and displays it with color coding; seatbelt engagement and operator presence; and improved diagnostics, the company says.
Boom speed has been increased 8% over previous models, and JLG reduced the number of hydraulic hoses and connections on the telehandlers by 30%. “The top-mounted telescopic cylinder provides easier access for service, and the rear access door on the frame has been replaced with a bolt-on panel for added durability,” the company adds.
