Condition

Every listing at NLEQ is carefully tested and inspected before being offered for sale, and this JLG G6-42A is no exception. The machine’s major functions are checked so buyers receive accurate, honest information about operational condition at the time of listing. With 3560 hours showing on the meter and model year 2003, this unit represents a sensible balance between service life and value.

Advantages of This JLG G6-42A Telehandler

• Diesel power for real-world productivity: Diesel engines are known for torque, durability, and fuel efficiency under load. For telehandler duty cycles that involve frequent lifting and travel, diesel power delivers dependable performance and consistent output throughout a long workday.
• Solid tires for uptime on tough sites: Solid tires resist punctures and flats that can sideline a machine. On construction sites with debris, rebar, nails, and off-cuts, puncture resistance helps keep your telehandler working and your schedule on track.
• 6000# capacity for core material-handling needs: The 6000-pound class is a practical sweet spot. It handles common palletized materials like masonry units, lumber, roofing materials, and job boxes, helping crews move essentials quickly and safely.
• 42' lift height for multi-story reach: A 42-foot maximum lift height enables efficient placement to elevated decks, roofs, and scaffolding levels typically encountered in two- to three-story construction. This height also supports reaching over ground-level obstacles to place loads precisely.
• JLG design you can count on: JLG is a recognized leader in lifting equipment. The G6-42A platform is widely supported in the field, which helps with operator familiarity and serviceability over the long term.
• Straightforward, proven configuration: Buyers often seek the G6-42A for its practical balance of capacity, reach, and maneuverability. It’s a workhorse telehandler that focuses on the fundamentals that matter most.

Applications

• General construction: Move pallets of block, brick, or lumber; deliver materials to staging areas; support framing, roofing, and interior build-out with consistent material flow.
• Masonry and concrete: Lift and place block, mortar, and formwork supplies to elevated platforms, speeding production and reducing manual handling.
• Exterior envelope and roofing trades: Hoist roofing materials, sheet goods, and tools to decks or rooflines safely and efficiently, minimizing crane dependency for routine lifts.
• Industrial maintenance and plant work: Support maintenance teams with parts and equipment placement at height and in hard-to-reach locations within facility grounds.
• Material yards and supply houses: Load and unload trucks and organize stock, using the 6000# capacity and 42' lift height to optimize throughput and stacking options.
• Site logistics and staging: Position job boxes, generators, and temporary equipment where needed to streamline site operations.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used JLG G6-42A telehandler offers a compelling total cost of ownership. The diesel configuration is built for longevity and efficiency, solid tires reduce downtime from flats, and the 6000#/42' spec covers a wide percentage of day-to-day telehandler tasks—helping you avoid overspending on capacity you rarely use. Parts and service support for JLG telehandlers are well established, which aids maintenance planning and helps keep operating costs predictable. With a purchase price of $27,850, this unit gives cost-conscious owners and fleet managers a practical entry point into dependable lifting capability while preserving capital for other priorities on the job.

Why This G6-42A Stands Out

• Balanced spec for real jobs: The 6000# capacity and 42' lift height combination aligns with the most common lifting tasks encountered on mid-rise and light commercial projects.
• Confidence in key wear points: Solid tires mitigate one of the most frequent sources of downtime on active sites—tire damage—so you can stay productive.
• Hours that make sense for the year: At 3560 hours for a 2003 machine, you’re looking at usage that many buyers consider reasonable for this class of equipment.
• Proven brand and model: The JLG G6-42A is widely respected for delivering reliable performance with straightforward operation, and its market presence supports long-term ownership.
• Backed by NLEQ’s inspection: Each listing we present has been tested and inspected so buyers receive an honest, accurate picture of what they are purchasing.
