A new telehandler on the market: JLG's new SkyTrak 8042

The redesigned SkyTrak 8042 Telehandler from JLG has a lighter weight and easier transport, providing an 8,000-pound lift capacity, a maximum lift height of 42 feet, and a maximum reach of 29.5 feet. Following the 6034 and 6042, which have a 6,000-pound capacity, the new telehander is the next generation. Boasting on the features of the new telehandler, the company called it ?reviewed, retooled, and reworked.? Larger single-page load charts, seatbelt engagement, operator presence, enhanced diagnostics, and a new, sophisticated control system that can manage load stability indication and show it with colour coding were all included in the new design.

Compared to earlier versions, the telehandler's speed has improved by 8%, and its number of hydraulic hoses and connections has lowered by 30%. With its 74-horsepower Deutz diesel engine, JLG lowered its emissions to Tier 4 Final, which does not necessitate the use of diesel exhaust fluid. The quick specifications for the given equipment are as follows: It has an operating weight of 21,200 lbs. and is powered by a Deutz engine with 74 hp. The maximum lift capacity is 8,000 lbs., and it can reach a maximum lift height of 42'4". At its maximum height, it can handle a capacity of 6,000 lbs. The equipment has a maximum reach of 29'6", with a capacity of 1,600 lbs. at that reach. Its width measures 8'4"; it has a ground clearance of 18" and a maximum travel speed of 15 mph. Standard Features of the model include two-wheel, four-wheel, and four-wheel crab steering modes. Hydrostatic transmission has inching functionality, which allows operators to run the boom at high speeds without shifting the transmission into neutral. A single electric-over-hydraulic joystick, which includes auxiliary hydraulic function and attachment tilt; a common coupler for use with all JLG and SkyTrak attachments; auxiliary hydraulic connections on the side of the boom head for quicker attachment change; an integrated tow hitch on the rear counterweight; and a boom-mounted lifting lug to handle a suspended load.
