Advantages

• Diesel power for real-world productivity: A diesel telehandler is engineered for the torque and durability needed to lift heavy pallets, travel on inclines, and shuttle materials all day. Diesel’s efficient fuel economy helps control operating costs during long shifts and across large jobsites.
• Foam filled tires reduce downtime: Foam filled tires are designed to resist punctures and flats in rebar-laden slabs, demolition debris, and rugged terrain. They deliver consistent tire shape under load, improving stability when staging materials at height and reducing interruptions that can derail a day’s work.
• 6042 class capability: The 6042 designation is known for combining a 6,000-lb class capacity with a 42-foot class reach. In practice, that means confidently handling common construction loads—brick, block, lumber, trusses, roofing bundles, and mechanical units—while reaching multiple stories to place materials where crews need them.
• Proven SkyTrak design: SkyTrak telehandlers are widely favored across the industry for straightforward operation and robust build quality. That reputation helps simplify operator training and promotes dependable service in tough environments.
• Balanced hours for a 2018 unit: At 2,067 hours, this machine presents a practical balance between value and remaining service life, making it an attractive addition for contractors who need capacity and reach without the overhead of a new purchase.

Applications

The SkyTrak 6042 telehandler is a versatile material handling solution for a broad range of jobsites and industries. Contractors choose this class for its ability to replace or supplement cranes and forklifts across rough terrain, while adding reach and height that conventional forklifts simply can’t achieve. The diesel engine and foam filled tires make it a stable choice for demanding environments where productivity matters.

• General construction: Move palletized building materials, set wall panels, and stage supplies at elevation for framing and finish crews.
• Masonry and concrete: Lift block, brick, mortar tubs, forms, and accessories to scaffolding heights, improving crew throughput.
• Roofing and siding: Place shingles, metal panels, and equipment to second, third, and fourth levels with precision.
• Mechanical trades: Hoist HVAC units, duct bundles, and piping to platforms or rooftops in fewer moves.
• Industrial facilities and yards: Load/unload trucks, reorganize inventory, and handle heavy components across mixed terrain.
• Event and infrastructure support: Set temporary structures, barriers, and platforms where reach and ground clearance are essential.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used SkyTrak 6042 helps you secure proven capability at a more accessible price point. With new equipment lead times and costs continuing to challenge project budgets, this 2018 model offers an immediate, cost-effective way to expand fleet capacity. The diesel configuration supports long-term serviceability, and the industry prevalence of SkyTrak means knowledgeable technicians, common wear components, and support resources are widely available. Foam filled tires further boost lifecycle value by decreasing unplanned downtime tied to punctures and flats.

From an operations standpoint, a telehandler in the 6042 class can reduce crane rentals for medium lifts, streamline material staging, and keep crews supplied at height—translating into tangible schedule and labor efficiencies.
