Skyjack’ s TH Series

JLG 1043T Quad Track

The 1043T Quad Track telehandler concept from JLG Industries, Inc. has been introduced as a prospective solution for contractors working in extreme ground conditions where wheeled machines often underperform. Previewed at World of Concrete and CONEXPO-CON / AGG, the tracked design focuses on increasing traction, flotation and maneuverability on loose, unstable or muddy terrain, as well as steep inclines and declines.

The concept model combines the reach and lifting capability of a traditional telehandler with a quad-track undercarriage engineered to enhance terrainability. The tracked configuration is designed to provide better flotation than tires and could help reduce the need for additional tracked equipment on certain jobsites.“ Contractors are being asked to do more work in tougher conditions, and that’ s exactly what inspired the innovation behind the 1043T Quad Track telehandler,” said Daryl Stauffer, director of product management – telehandlers, JLG.

Spec’ d with a rated capacity of 10,000 pounds and a maximum lift height of 43 feet, five inches, the 1043T concept targets applications such as below-grade foundation restoration, heavy civil construction and deep sheeting and shoring work. These projects often involve wet sand, clay soils or muddy, uneven ground where improved mobility is critical. The quad-track design is intended to enhance performance in mud, sand and snow while helping minimize ground disturbance.

Developed in response to evolving jobsite demands, the 1043T Quad Track telehandler concept reflects the company’ s efforts to explore tracked mobility solutions that could help crews maintain productivity when terrain becomes the primary obstacle.

Skyjack’ s TH series telehandlers provide a variety of features and attachments that increase customer utilization and limit downtime. Skyjack offers six updated models in the North American telehandler series, with lift capacities ranging from 5,500 pounds to 12,000 pounds and lift heights ranging from 19 feet, one inch to 56 feet, three inches. Maximum forward reach in the series ranges from 11 feet, one inch to 42 feet, four inches. These versatile machines support customers as they work at height, move cargo in tight spaces and navigate rough terrain.

Through the use of improved gearing and a high-efficiency hydraulics package, Skyjack’ s 74-horsepower telehandler engines deliver the same on-site job performance as higher horsepower units. The series offers SMARTORQUE, which is engineered to require no diesel particulate filters( DPF), no diesel exhaust fluid( DEF) and no other active exhaust aftertreatment. The unique rear axle stabilization( RAS) system increases stability and provides jobsite flexibility with three-mode steering operation. The FLEXDRIVE option allows operators to reduce drive speed and creep forward and reverse while maintaining all functions and hydraulic performance required to complete a job. Skyjack’ s telehandlers also feature a single multifunction pilotoperated joystick control.

The FLEXCAB, a standard feature of Skyjack’ s telehandlers, gives fleet operators increased flexibility and allows for easy conversion between open and enclosed cabs with simple hand tools. The bolt-on / bolt-off window retention system with easily sourced flat glass panels ensures minimal ownership costs and downtime. Skyjack’ s compact telehandler model, the SJ519 TH, further redefines the market with class-leading cab size.

The yoke-mounted READYHOOK is standard on most TH series telehandlers, and this technology allows for safe under-slinging of loads that match the maximum lift capability and help avoid the practice of using the forks as an underslung lifting device. Skyjack supports the rental industry with a wide variety of carriages, fork options and additional attachments designed to increase telehandler productivity to help customers tackle ever-changing jobsites.
