Incorporating a uniframe design using a high strength beam running the length of the frame, the Model G6-42A telehandler offers maximum lifting capacity of 6,600 pounds at maximum lift height of 42-feet, and is capable of horizontally extending a 1,000-pound load to 29 feet.

Power is provided by a turbo-charged diesel engine from John Deere that is side mounted to permit improved operator visibility and ease of maintenance. The engine is linked to a 4-speed powershift transmission and can be driven at speeds up to 19.5 mph.
