Skyjack's telehandler launch next week

Skyjack is set to extend its SJ range of telehanders by unveiling its largest - the 17.1 metre/5.4 tonne SJ1256 TH prototype - next week.

The new telehandler can take 2,721kg to its full height without outriggers, or 3,175kg with outriggers set. Maximum forward reach is 12.95 metres.

The new model is based on the 4.5 tonne SJ1056 TH and offers similar features including a Tier-IV final Deutz engine that uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) but requires no filter regeneration, a modular cab that can easily be converted from open to closed at the rental yard and a standard yoke mounted lifting hook for under-slung loads.

The new series, launched last February replaced the old VR series.
