Advantages

• Proven powertrain: With diesel power from a respected manufacturer, this telehandler delivers the low-end torque and reliability that heavy lifting and constant shuttle work demand.

• Reach where it counts: A 43-foot lift height gives crews the working envelope to stage materials on upper levels, clear obstacles, and support multi-story builds and maintenance tasks.
• Operator comfort: Heat helps the operator stay productive during cold mornings and shoulder-season weather, supporting longer, more focused shifts.
• Tire durability: Foam filled tires are highly resistant to flats and pinch damage, adding uptime in debris-laden environments and providing a stable feel across uneven ground.
• Straightforward design: SkyJack is renowned for practical engineering and easy service access, which translates into faster routine checks and less time in the shop.
• Right-hour unit: With 2,030 hours, this 2017 model balances proven reliability with meaningful service life remaining—ideal for contractors seeking value without sacrificing performance.
• Budget-smart acquisition: At $57,500, the cost-to-capability ratio is compelling, especially compared to new pricing or larger-capacity machines you may not fully utilize.

Applications

Telehandlers like the SkyJack SJ643 TH are indispensable across a wide range of industries because they bridge the gap between lifting, placing, and transporting materials over terrain where forklifts and cranes are less efficient. This model’s capacity and height profile make it particularly useful in:

• Commercial construction: Move and stage structural steel components, pallets of block and brick, rebar bundles, and roofing materials to staging areas and elevated work zones.
• Residential and multi-family builds: Place lumber, sheathing, windows, and drywall on upper floors and roof decks, streamlining framing and finishing schedules.
• Industrial and plant maintenance: Handle equipment swaps, mechanical units, and piping spools, and support shutdowns and turnarounds with agile material handling.
• Infrastructure and utilities: Support crews with barrier placement, materials shuttling, and elevated access support in constrained or uneven environments.
• Warehousing and yard operations: Manage outdoor inventory, stack materials, and load/unload trucks where rough terrain capability is required.
• Rental fleets: A versatile capacity class, straightforward operation, and robust brand reputation make this a strong fleet addition with broad customer appeal.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used telehandler that’s been inspected and verified saves both time and operating costs. This 2017 SkyJack SJ643 TH offers an attractive total cost of ownership thanks to practical engineering and widely supported components. The diesel powerplant helps keep fuel consumption efficient relative to output, and the design emphasis on accessibility supports faster routine checks and service tasks. Foam filled tires reduce downtime due to flats—an often overlooked cost in heavy construction—and heat improves productivity in cooler climates, allowing operators to work more comfortably and consistently.

Resale value also benefits from a recognized brand and a model that remains highly relevant for general contracting, specialty trades, and rental applications. By selecting a well-balanced capacity and height configuration, you preserve flexibility across many job types, which helps keep utilization rates high throughout the year.

Why this SJ643 TH

There are many telehandlers in the market, but this specific unit stands out for a few key reasons. It is the right size for most day-to-day lifting needs, offering a strong combination of 6,000-lb capacity and 43' lift height. The Deutz-powered diesel drivetrain is known for consistent torque and dependable starts, giving crews confidence during repetitive handling cycles. Operator comfort features such as heat help extend productive time during colder conditions. Foam filled tires add a layer of durability that protects your schedule from unexpected flats and punctures. With 2,030 hours, you’re getting a machine that has worked successfully in the field yet still retains substantial service life for a new owner.

Finally, the 2017 model year aligns well with current expectations for safety, control feel, and serviceability in modern fleets.
