Overview

The JCB 509-42 is a proven, high-capacity telehandler designed to keep material handling safe, fast, and predictable. With 9,000 lb rated capacity and 43 feet of lift height, this model is a staple on commercial building sites, industrial facilities, and large residential projects. The 2016 model year hits a smart balance of modern operator comforts and robust mechanical reliability. If you’re searching for a used JCB 509-42 telehandler that’s already configured with a 50" carriage and 48" pallet forks, this unit is ready to go to work on day one.

Performance-wise, the turbo diesel engine offers the torque necessary for steady lifting and controlled placement. Foam filled tires enhance uptime by minimizing flats and sidewall issues, while the heated cab supports productivity in cold and variable weather. The included fender & light kit improves visibility and protection, helping crews move confidently from pre-dawn starts to evening wrap-ups.

Condition

This JCB 509-42 has been fully serviced by NLEQ, meaning essential filters, fluids, and functional checks have been addressed so you receive a telehandler that’s ready for immediate deployment. Every listing at NLEQ undergoes careful testing and inspection to verify core systems operate as expected. Buyers can expect the boom, steering, brakes, hydraulics, and controls to perform in line with the machine’s design and rated specifications.

The foam filled tires add durability for sites with debris, rebar, and sharp aggregate, reducing the downtime and costs associated with punctures. The heated cab contributes to overall operator comfort and consistent productivity when the temperature drops or when early morning condensation is a factor. The carriage, forks, and lighting have been reviewed for proper function so you can receive reliable handling and positioning from the first day on site.

Advantages

• Turbo Diesel: The turbocharged diesel delivers strong low-end torque for lifting heavy loads smoothly off the ground and for holding weight steady at height. You can expect predictable throttle response and the power necessary to handle dense materials and stacked pallets without the engine struggling under load.
• Heated Cab: Operator comfort isn’t a luxury on long shifts or winter projects. Heat helps keep windows clear and the operator focused, which improves visibility and reduces fatigue. Comfortable operators tend to work more efficiently and make fewer errors, benefiting schedule and safety.
• 50" Carriage: The wider carriage promotes load stability and better fork spacing for pallets, bundles, and job-built platforms. A 50" carriage gives you more room to position forks for odd-sized loads, which improves balance during travel and when placing materials at reach.
• 48" Pallet Forks: The 48" forks are a versatile, everyday choice for construction materials, lumber, masonry pallets, and site supplies. Their length provides ample engagement for standard pallets while maintaining precise maneuverability when placing materials at height.
• Foam Filled Tires: Foam filling greatly reduces the risk of flats, keeping the machine productive in harsh conditions. This boosts uptime and lowers maintenance interruptions, which can be especially valuable on remote sites or tight schedules.
• 9000# Capacity: A 9,000 lb rating delivers the muscle needed for dense loads—think block, rebar bundles, large lumber packs, roofing materials, and mechanical equipment. This capacity also provides margin for heavy pallets so crews can lift with confidence rather than push limits.
• 43' Lift Height: With up to 43 feet of vertical reach, crews can service multi-story builds, mezzanines, and high racks. This reach reduces the need for secondary handling and helps keep cranes free for critical picks, trimming both time and rental costs.
• Fender & Light Kit: Additional lighting aids pre-dawn and evening operations, while fenders help shield the machine and maintain visibility around the wheels in wet or muddy conditions. Better visibility and protection translate into safer, more controlled work.
• Fully Serviced: Receiving a telehandler that’s already been serviced reduces immediate maintenance spending and minimizes unexpected downtime during the first months of ownership. It also provides a cleaner baseline for your maintenance records.

Applications

The 2016 JCB 509-42 telehandler is at home on a wide range of jobs:

• General Construction: Move and stage pallets of block, brick, and lumber with ease. The 43' lift height helps feed upper floors and framing crews directly.
• Concrete and Masonry: Lift heavy bundles of CMU and pre-cast forms. The 9,000 lb capacity offers headroom for dense material pallets common to site work.
• Steel and Framing: Position beams, trusses, and engineered lumber, improving install speed and reducing crane dependency for intermediate lifts.
• Roofing and Siding: Deliver shingles, panels, and insulation to elevated work areas quickly. The foam filled tires handle debris often found near tear-off zones.
• Industrial and Warehouse Yards: Load/unload trucks, feed rack storage, and move equipment where a forklift lacks reach.
• Site Services and Utilities: Transport generators, pipe, and job boxes around changing terrain with dependable traction and stability.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used JCB 509-42 telehandler offers strong return on investment. The combination of 9000# capacity, 43' lift height, and a turbo diesel engine covers the majority of heavy material handling tasks without overcomplicating the machine. Foam filled tires reduce nuisance downtime, while the heated cab keeps productivity up across seasons. With the 50" carriage and 48" pallet forks included, you have the core attachment package needed for most daily lifts, reducing add-on costs at purchase.

From a budgeting standpoint, the $59,875 pricing delivers substantial value compared with new alternatives while still providing the performance, reach, and durability contractors expect from JCB. The hours are in a practical range for continued service life, and the fully serviced status helps minimize early ownership expenses. For fleets, this model slots into roles where a high-capacity telehandler can replace multiple smaller material handling moves, consolidating equipment needs and labor steps.

Why This JCB 509-42

If you need a telehandler that combines high capacity, significant vertical reach, and operator-focused features, the JCB 509-42 is a standout.
