Advantages

• Deutz diesel power: Deutz is recognized worldwide for dependable engines that deliver efficient combustion, strong low-end torque, and straightforward maintenance. In telehandler applications, that translates into confident lifting, controlled travel, and long service intervals to keep your costs predictable.
• 4WD drivetrain: Four-wheel drive provides the traction needed for unimproved terrain, mud, gravel, and slopes. When staging loads or maneuvering in tight laydown areas, 4WD helps maintain control so operators can focus on productivity.
• Solid tires: Solid tires resist punctures from rebar, nails, and demolition debris, minimizing tire-related downtime. They’re a pragmatic choice for active construction sites, recycling yards, and industrial facilities where reliability is paramount.
• Auxiliary hydraulics: With aux hydraulics available, the SJ643 TH supports a range of hydraulic attachments such as brooms, augers, clamps, and specialty forks. That flexibility lets a single machine handle multiple tasks across phases of a project, improving utilization and ROI.
• 6,000 class capacity: The capacity class is well-suited for lifting loaded pallets of block, lumber packs, trusses, formwork, and job boxes to elevated positions. It’s a sweet spot for general contractors who need capability without stepping into larger, heavier machines.
• 43 class lift height: The reach enables efficient staging to upper floors, mezzanines, and rooflines, reducing crane calls and streamlining material flow from ground to point of use.
• SkyJack design philosophy: SkyJack telehandlers are respected for simplified hydraulics, intuitive controls, and easy-access service points. That’s important for fleet managers and mechanics striving to keep maintenance fast and predictable.
• Balanced hours for the year: With 3,168 hours on a 2017 unit, utilization is aligned with typical commercial use, helping buyers balance value with expected service life.

Applications

The SkyJack SJ643 TH telehandler is a versatile material handling solution for a broad range of jobsites. Contractors choose this model when they want a compact footprint with serious reach and a confident load chart in real-world conditions. Whether you’re staging exterior materials or feeding crews inside a structure, the machine’s combination of traction, visibility, and hydraulic control helps keep work moving.

• General construction: Move pallets of materials from delivery trucks to staging areas and directly to elevated work zones, accelerating schedules and reducing manual handling.
• Masonry and concrete: Lift block, grout, rebar bundles, and form panels with control and place them exactly where crews need them.
• Framing and roofing: Position trusses, sheathing, and roofing materials at height, supporting efficient installation with fewer disruptions.
• Steel and mechanical trades: Stage structural components, duct runs, and equipment skids to upper floors or platforms, limiting secondary handling.
• Industrial facilities: Support maintenance, shutdowns, and plant expansions by moving heavy parts and tooling across varied surfaces.
• Rental fleets: The SJ643 TH’s operator-friendly controls and durable build make it a solid addition for rental applications where reliability and quick turnarounds matter.

Ownership Value

For owners focused on total cost of ownership, this telehandler configuration checks the right boxes. Deutz power is known for longevity and consistent parts support. SkyJack’s straightforward design helps keep service tasks efficient—an advantage for in-house teams and third-party mechanics. Solid tires limit unplanned stops due to punctures, and 4WD keeps the machine productive in less-than-ideal underfoot conditions. With a capacity and height class engineered for mainstream construction tasks, the SJ643 TH remains useful across many project types, which supports high utilization rates in mixed fleets.

Because this is a 2017 unit with work-ready hours and the core options buyers expect—diesel, 4WD, solid tires, and aux hydraulics—it strikes a smart balance between acquisition cost and practical capability. That combination drives better payback by enabling one machine to cover more roles day-to-day, especially when you add attachments that take advantage of the hydraulic circuit.
