• Model Simplicity: The Skytrak 6042 is known for straightforward, jobsite-ready design that’s easy to operate and maintain. Mechanics appreciate the access and parts commonality, while operators favor its predictable handling.
• 2015 Model Year: Modern enough to benefit from contemporary design refinements and support, while priced within reach of budget-conscious buyers looking to expand fleets.

Applications

• General Construction: Move and place lumber, drywall, pallets of fasteners, and jobsite supplies efficiently across developing structures and staging areas.
• Masonry and Block Work: Lift block, mortar, and scaffolding materials to the working face; reduce manual handling through precise material placement.
• Framing and Roofing: Support truss setting and roof deck deliveries; reach upper levels safely and efficiently with the 42' lift height.
• Structural Steel and Light Industrial: Position light structural members and equipment where cranes are unnecessary or cost-prohibitive.
• Site Logistics: Streamline material flow from delivery to installation zones; reduce time lost to double-handling and bottlenecks.
• Yard and Warehouse Support: Load/unload trucks and organize inventory; the 6000# capacity suits common palletized stock and jobsite kits.
• Agricultural and Facility Maintenance: Handle feed, fencing materials, light equipment, and maintenance supplies across large properties.

In each scenario, the Skytrak 6042 telehandler’s blend of capacity and reach minimizes delays and improves safety by allowing materials to be placed exactly where crews need them. The heated cab supports long shifts, especially in colder regions, and Cummins diesel power provides the consistency teams rely on when timelines are tight.
