Skyjack’s compact telehandler model, the SJ519 TH, further redefines the market with class-leading cab size.
The yoke-mounted READYHOOK is standard on most TH series telehandlers, and this technology allows for safe under-slinging of loads that match the maximum lift capability and help avoid the practice of using the forks as an underslung lifting device. Skyjack supports the rental industry with a wide variety of carriages, fork options and additional attachments designed to increase telehandler productivity to help customers tackle ever-changing jobsites.
JLG 1043T Quad Track
The 1043T Quad Track telehandler concept from JLG Industries, Inc. has been introduced as a prospective solution for contractors working in extreme ground conditions where wheeled machines often underperform. Previewed at World of Concrete and CONEXPO-CON/AGG, the tracked design focuses on increasing traction, flotation and maneuverability on loose, unstable or muddy terrain, as well as steep inclines and declines.
The concept model combines the reach and lifting capability of a traditional telehandler with a quad-track undercarriage engineered to enhance terrainability. The tracked configuration is designed to provide better flotation than tires and could help reduce the need for additional tracked equipment on certain jobsites. “Contractors are being asked to do more work in tougher conditions, and that’s exactly what inspired the innovation behind the 1043T Quad Track telehandler,” said Daryl Stauffer, director of product management – telehandlers, JLG.
Spec’d with a rated capacity of 10,000 pounds and a maximum lift height of 43 feet, five inches, the 1043T concept targets applications such as below-grade foundation restoration, heavy civil construction and deep sheeting and shoring work. These projects often involve wet sand, clay soils or muddy, uneven ground where improved mobility is critical. The quad-track design is intended to enhance performance in mud, sand and snow while helping minimize ground disturbance.
Developed in response to evolving jobsite demands, the 1043T Quad Track telehandler concept reflects the company’s efforts to explore tracked mobility solutions that could help crews maintain productivity when terrain becomes the primary obstacle.
Magni RTH 13.101
The Magni RTH 13.101 rotating telehandler reflects a growing shift in how contractors approach lifting at height, particularly on jobsites where time, space and labor efficiency are critical. With a lifting capacity of 13,200 pounds and a maximum lift height of 101 feet, the RTH 13.101 is well-suited for projects that demand both height and precision.
Unlike conventional telehandlers, rotating models allow operators to lift and place materials in multiple directions from a single setup, reducing the need for repositioning and helping crews complete tasks more efficiently. This flexibility can reduce reliance on cranes for certain lifts while limiting the number of machines required on site, helping contractors manage both time and equipment costs.
Rotating telehandlers are designed to simplify lifting operations through integrated digital load monitoring systems that provide real-time guidance throughout each lift. This reduces guesswork, eases operator strain and supports safer handling of materials at height. Magni Telescopic Handlers has played a key role in expanding awareness of rotating telehandlers in the U.S. market, drawing from years of adoption in Europe and continuing to educate contractors on how one machine can deliver greater efficiency, control and safety on the jobsite here in the U.S.
