“We want to be able to service those sectors as part of our pursuit of becoming a full-line manufacturer and supplier of mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers.” “By introducing the SJ1256 TH, we can now supply telehandlers to operators and rental branches that cater to heavier duty applications, such as the energy sector,” Greenaway said. Ideal for heavier-duty applications, the SJ1256 TH features 12,000-lbs (5,443 kg) maximum lift capacity, 56.3 ft (17.1 m) maximum lift height, 6,000 lbs (2,721 kg) lift capacity at maximum lift height without deploying outriggers and 7,000 lbs (3,175 kg) lift capacity at maximum lift height with outriggers deployed, 42.6 ft (12.95m) maximum forward reach and a Tier-IV final 107hp Deutz TCD3.6L engine that uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid but requires no regeneration. Another outstanding feature, is that it can lift 1,000 lbs at maximum forward reach of 42.6 ft without deploying outriggers, whereas most similar machines can only lift up to 500 lbs, or even no load at all, in the same circumstance.” The SJ1256 TH can lift 12,000 lbs to 35 ft. “Most telehandlers in the 12K category lift 12,000 lbs to just over 20 feet.

“The SJ1256 TH is based heavily on our class-leading SJ1056 TH,” said Barry Greenaway, senior product manager, Skyjack.

The new Skyjack SJ1256 TH telehandler is a Tier-IV final compliant machine brings Skyjack’s class-leading load chart performance to the 12,000-lb lifting capacity market and will be available for purchase in the second quarter of 2017.
