Advantages

• Proven JLG durability: The G6-42A platform is known across North America for dependable operation and straightforward maintenance, giving owners confidence when schedules are tight.
• Diesel power confidence: Diesel delivers steady torque for lifting and travel, helping maintain smooth, controlled movements with heavier loads and improving performance on varied terrain.
• Solid tires for uptime: Solid tires help minimize flats and punctures common on construction sites, scrap yards, and industrial yards, supporting more consistent daily productivity.
• Balanced lift and reach: The 6000# Capacity and 42' Lift Height allow practical handling of pallets of block, bundles of lumber, roofing materials, scaffolding components, and job boxes, all while maintaining a manageable machine size.
• Operator-friendly design: The G6-42A is engineered for clear sightlines and intuitive controls, helping reduce training time and promoting confident handling in tight or busy areas.
• Strong parts support: JLG’s broad dealer and parts network helps simplify upkeep and turnaround time, which is critical for owners managing utilization and costs.
• Smart total cost of ownership: Buying used at $29,875 captures the performance you need while avoiding the steep initial depreciation that comes with new equipment purchases.

Applications

• General construction: Stage and place materials at height efficiently, reducing manual handling and increasing productivity for multi-trade crews.
• Masonry and concrete: Move pallets of block, brick, cement, and reinforcing materials to elevated work platforms and staging zones with confidence.
• Framing and roofing: Position lumber packs, trusses, sheathing, and roofing bundles where crews need them to keep installation moving.
• Steel erection and industrial work: Support rigging, set light structural members, and handle tools and job boxes at height for fabricators and maintenance teams.
• Commercial facilities and plants: Load, unload, and reposition bulk materials or equipment indoors and out, taking advantage of solid tires for puncture resistance in debris-prone zones.
• Yards and supply houses: Manage inventory flow, stage outbound orders, and load trucks with a machine sized for maneuverability and practical reach.
• Agriculture and landscaping: Lift seed, fertilizer, feed, irrigation components, and hardscape materials where access and stability are essential.

In each of these environments, the G6-42A’s lift capacity and reach work together to reduce manual rehandling and cycle times. By placing materials closer to the point of use, crews can spend more time installing and less time moving supplies, which increases productivity and lowers labor costs.

Ownership Value
