SkyTrak 6034 and 6042

The SkyTrak 6034 and 6042 telehandlers are part of JLG Industries’ updated telehandler line, designed with features for material handling in residential, commercial and urban jobsites. The 6034 offers a 34-foot lift height and 23-foot forward reach, while the 6042 provides 42 feet of lift and 29 feet of reach. Both have a 6,000-pound lift capacity, three steering modes for maneuverability and compact dimensions with 95-inch width and 15-inch ground clearance. The 6034 has an operating weight of 14,500 pounds, and the 6042 weighs 19,100 pounds, allowing easier transport.

Each model uses a 74-hp, 2.9L Deutz diesel engine that eliminates the need for diesel exhaust fluid. A hydrostatic transmission supports precise control, while inching functionality lets operators run the boom at high speeds without shifting into neutral. Compatibility with JLG and SkyTrak attachments is supported through a common coupler, and auxiliary hydraulic connections are located on the side of the boom head for quicker attachment changes. A standard boom-mounted lifting lug and an integrated rear tow hitch provide additional versatility.

The cab is equipped with a larger LCD display, streamlined load charts and an advanced control system with features such as load stability indication and operator presence monitoring. Optional technology includes multi-view backup cameras, a reverse sensing system and a white noise backup alarm. Air conditioning is available for enclosed cabs.

Serviceability features include a 30 % reduction in hydraulic hoses and connections, a top-mounted telescopic cylinder for easier access and a more durable rear panel design. Boom performance has also been updated with faster function speeds and a simplified cylinder layout, reducing maintenance needs over time.
