Condition

Every machine we sell is carefully tested and inspected before being offered for sale. This 2017 SkyJack SJ643 TH has passed NLEQ’s evaluation process, which is focused on function, safety-related systems, and overall operational readiness. As a used telehandler, it may show typical cosmetic signs of use consistent with its age and hour level; however, buyers can expect accurate, honest, and reliable information based on our hands-on assessment. The result is a machine positioned for productive work on your next project, with key details verified so you can plan around real capability rather than guesswork.

Advantages

• Proven SkyJack dependability: SkyJack telehandlers are widely respected for their simple, rugged engineering. Fewer unnecessary complexities mean straightforward operation, easier servicing, and consistent performance in tough conditions.
• 4WD traction you can count on: Four-wheel drive helps keep you moving over uneven ground, soft surfaces, and changing site conditions. On active jobsites—where staging areas, access roads, and materials yards are rarely perfect—4WD helps maintain momentum and control.
• Diesel power for real jobsite demands: Diesel engines deliver strong low-end torque that’s ideal for material handling. That means confident movement when you need to position loads, maneuver on grades, or work in less-than-ideal terrain.
• Balanced hour profile: With 1,498 hours, this unit offers a practical balance between demonstrated reliability and useful life ahead. It’s seasoned enough to show it can work, yet not overworked—an attractive sweet spot for many buyers.
• 2017 model year value: A more modern machine typically reflects contemporary design choices and operator-focused refinements. You benefit from engineering updates that emphasize durability and productivity while avoiding the premium of a current-year purchase.
• Telehandler versatility: Telehandlers excel at placing palletized materials, staging supplies, and supporting multi-trade workflows. Instead of multiple trips or additional labor, one machine can simplify jobsite logistics and keep crews productive.
• Compelling total cost: Priced at $44,950, this unit delivers serious material-handling capability at a fraction of new. The cost savings create room in your budget for additional attachments, transport, or other project necessities.
• Confidence backed by testing: NLEQ’s inspection and test process is designed to provide clarity. You get a telehandler represented with integrity—so you can bid work, schedule crews, and plan deliveries with fewer surprises.

Applications

Telehandlers are indispensable across construction and industrial environments because they bring lift, reach, and maneuverability together in one machine. This SkyJack SJ643 TH fits neatly into a wide range of tasks where reliable material movement speeds up the entire project timeline.

• Commercial construction: Move palletized materials, place bundles at staging points, and support framing and finish trades. Keep materials flowing to the right place at the right time to reduce crew idle time.
• Residential and multifamily builds: Efficiently handle lumber, trusses, sheathing, and finish materials across compact sites, saving trips and compressing project schedules.
• Masonry and roofing support: Position block, brick, mortar, and roofing supplies at working height to minimize manual handling and improve throughput.
• Steel and prefab trades: Stage beams, hardware, and prefabricated components for faster assembly and more predictable workflow.
• Industrial facilities and yards: Move bulk goods, equipment, and supplies around plants or storage yards with the agility to navigate mixed-surface environments.
• Site logistics and warehousing: Serve as a flexible material mover that bridges gaps between delivery areas, laydown zones, and active work fronts.
• Infrastructure and utility projects: Support crews with reliable handling of pipe, fittings, shoring materials, and tools across uneven terrain.
• Agriculture and property maintenance: Load, unload, and reposition supplies or equipment across larger properties where reach and 4WD traction streamline day-to-day tasks.

Ownership Value

Owning a used telehandler from a trusted brand and a trusted seller is a strategic move for contractors, rental fleets, and owner-operators alike. The core economics are compelling: lower acquisition cost, proven reliability, and immediate availability. With a used SkyJack SJ643 TH, you avoid the steepest early depreciation and still secure a machine with long productive life ahead. That helps stabilize cash flow while improving operational capability on the ground.

SkyJack’s emphasis on practical design supports cost-effective ownership. Straightforward systems can translate into faster maintenance and reduced downtime. Parts availability and service familiarity further support uptime, whether you maintain in-house or rely on a local shop. For many buyers, that translates into faster returns on investment because the machine spends more time moving materials and less time waiting on complex diagnostics.

Telehandlers also improve jobsite efficiency by reducing double-handling of materials. With the right staging plan, your crews can spend more time installing and less time hauling, which often yields tangible savings over the course of a project. The 4WD diesel configuration enhances that value, enabling consistent performance across the site—even when conditions are not ideal. In short, this unit delivers the kind of dependable capability that drives results and supports repeatable project outcomes.

Why this SJ643 TH

What makes this particular telehandler stand out is the combination of brand, configuration, hour level, and price. The SkyJack name is synonymous with durable, no-nonsense equipment that crews trust and supervisors appreciate for its reliability. A 4WD diesel setup that’s been tested and inspected means you’re getting essential jobsite performance in a package that’s ready for work. The 2017 model year hits a smart value point, reflecting modern engineering and operator refinements while keeping acquisition costs sensible.

The hour count of 1,498 is a key advantage for many buyers. It signals a machine with meaningful field time—enough to prove itself—without suggesting heavy wear that comes later in a unit’s life. For a buyer focused on productivity and predictable ownership costs, that balance can be more valuable than either a very low-hour premium unit or a deeply aged machine with heavy use. Add the price of $44,950, and the value proposition is clear: strong capability and dependable performance from a respected brand, tested and offered by a seller known for transparency.
