JLG Completes SkyTrak Telehandler Redesign With Three New Models

JLG Industries has expanded its updated North American SkyTrak telehandler lineup with redesigned SkyTrak 10042, 10054 and 12054 models. The introductions complete the company's redesign of its SkyTrak telehandler range.

The new models are intended for construction, infrastructure, industrial and material handling applications and offer lifting capacities of up to 12,000 pounds with maximum lift heights of 53 feet, 2 inches.

"Completing the redesign of the SkyTrak telehandler lineup represents a major milestone for the brand," says John Boehme, senior product manager – telehandlers, JLG. "We engineered these updated SkyTrak 10K and 12K telehandler models with advanced technology and functional updates inspired directly by customer feedback, supporting productivity and operator confidence without compromising the workhorse reputation SkyTrak is known for."

All three models feature a Tier 4 Final Cummins F3.8 110-horsepower diesel engine and a four-speed Powershift transmission equipped with SmartShift technology, which automatically shifts between third and fourth gears.

JLG updated the machines with a new control system offering expanded diagnostics and additional functionality. Optional technologies include Load Stability Indication (LSI), which monitors forward load capacity and provides visual indicators, and Seatbelt Engagement and Operator Presence (SEAOP), which provides visual and audible alerts while limiting certain machine functions when operator engagement requirements are not met.

The redesigned cab includes a larger LCD display and revised single-page load charts to provide operators with more information at a glance. Flat glass construction is also intended to simplify glass replacement.

Additional productivity updates include an electric-over-hydraulic joystick with integrated auxiliary hydraulic functions and attachment tilt controls. Auxiliary hydraulic connections have been moved to the side of the boom head to help streamline attachment changes.

Each model comes standard with the ClearSky Smart Fleet two-way communications platform, providing connectivity for fleet management and troubleshooting. Optional features include a multi-view reverse camera system, reverse sensing with audible in-cab alerts and a white noise backup alarm to improve operator awareness.

The redesigned lineup consists of the 10,000-pound-capacity SkyTrak 10042 with a 42-foot, 1-inch lift height, the 10,000-pound-capacity SkyTrak 10054 with a 53-foot, 2-inch lift height and the 12,000-pound-capacity SkyTrak 12054, which also reaches 53 feet, 2 inches. According to JLG, the models are designed to support heavy lifting, material placement, machinery movement and industrial handling applications.
