Skyjack's new SJ1256 TH telehandler

Skyjack has showcased its new SJ1256 TH telehandler, along with its range of mobile elevating work platforms, during World of Concrete in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"This year's World of Concrete was a great opportunity for us to show our competitive edge in the telehandler industry," says Barry Greenaway, senior product manager, Skyjack. "We are excited to introduce the SJ1256 TH, which brings Skyjack's class-leading load chart performance to the 12,000 lb. (5,440 kg) lifting capacity market."

Based heavily on the SJ1056 TH, the SJ1256 TH shares 70% commonality of parts, as well as the layout and easy maintenance features of the TH series that customers love, and is ideal for heavier-duty applications like on oil and gas job sites.

Besides a maximum lift capacity of 12,000 lb., which it can lift to a height of 35 ft. (10.67 m) with outriggers deployed, the SJ1256 TH can also lift 1,000 lb. (454 kg) at maximum forward reach of 42.6 ft. (12.95 m) without deploying outriggers, which most similar machines are not capable of.

"It was great to see both existing and new customers at World of Concrete and introduce them to our new SJ1256 TH," Greenaway adds.
