The redesigned SkyTrak 8042 Telehandler from JLG has a lighter weight and easier transport, providing an 8,000-pound lift capacity, a maximum lift height of 42 feet, and a maximum reach of 29.5 feet. Following the 6034 and 6042, which have a 6,000-pound capacity, the new telehander is the next generation.

Compared to earlier versions, the telehandler's speed has improved by 8%, and its number of hydraulic hoses and connections has lowered by 30%.
