JLG Launches Upgraded SkyTrak 8042 Telehandler

JLG, a renowned leader in access equipment innovation, has rolled out its latest game-changer in the construction industry ? the redesigned SkyTrak 8042 Telehandler. This groundbreaking overhaul aims to revolutionize telehandler operations with a focus on lighter weight, advanced control systems, and enhanced features.

The SkyTrak 8042 Telehandler, boasting an impressive 8,000-pound lift capacity and reaching up to 42 feet, has undergone a complete transformation from its predecessors. Joining the ranks of the 6,000-pound-capacity models released earlier, this redesign marks a significant step forward for JLG in telehandler technology.

Every aspect of the new SkyTrak 8042 has been meticulously scrutinized, retooled, and reworked by JLG engineers. The result is a telehandler that promises unparalleled performance and efficiency on the job site.

One of the standout features of the redesigned model is its new advanced control system, capable of handling various options including load stability indication, seatbelt engagement, and improved diagnostics. This system ensures optimal performance and safety, providing operators with enhanced control and peace of mind during operation.

Moreover, the cab of the SkyTrak 8042 boasts a fresh design and incorporates a larger LCD screen, enabling operators to access more data and load charts conveniently on a single page. The telehandler also sees a significant improvement in boom speed, with an 8% increase over previous models, ensuring quicker and more efficient operations.

In addition to performance enhancements, JLG has prioritized ease of use and maintenance with the redesigned model. The number of hydraulic hoses and connections has been reduced by 30%, streamlining maintenance processes and minimizing downtime.

Powered by a 74-horsepower Deutz diesel engine, the SkyTrak 8042 meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards without requiring diesel exhaust fluid, further enhancing its environmental credentials.

Standard features of the SkyTrak 8042 Telehandler include versatile steering modes, hydrostatic transmission, inching functionality, and a single electric-over-hydraulic joystick for intuitive operation. The telehandler also comes equipped with a common coupler for compatibility with all JLG and SkyTrak attachments, along with auxiliary hydraulic connections for quick attachment changes.

Safety features have also been prioritized, with a multi-reverse camera system providing multiple views from behind the machine and a reverse sensing system alerting operators to rear obstructions. Additionally, a white-noise backup alarm ensures heightened awareness during reverse travel.

With an operating weight of 21,200 lbs. and a maximum travel speed of 15 mph, the SkyTrak 8042 Telehandler sets a new standard for performance, efficiency, and safety in the construction industry.

JLG's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction shines through in the redesign of the SkyTrak 8042 Telehandler, offering construction professionals a versatile and reliable solution for their lifting and loading needs.
