JLG SkyTrak 3013 Specifications
The JLG SkyTrak 3013 telehandler represents the most
compact lifting solution offered within the SkyTrak product family. Designed to
operate efficiently within confined job sites, industrial warehouses,
agricultural settings, and maintenance applications, the 3013 is built around
simplicity, reliability, and low operating cost.
With a modest maximum lift height of 13 ft 1 in
(4 m) and a rated capacity of 2,700 lb (1,225 kg), the machine provides
ample performance for users who require material-handling capabilities
without the complexity and weight of larger telehandlers. The SkyTrak
3013 is engineered for users who value easy transportability—its
operating weight of just 5,280 lb (2,400 kg) enables towing with a wide
range of light-duty trucks and trailers.
SkyTrak’s emphasis on rugged construction, intuitive controls, and
dependable components is apparent in the 3013’s layout. A Kubota V1505
diesel engine delivers fuel-efficient power, while the hydrostatic
transmission offers smooth, infinitely variable travel control.
The compact wheelbase and rear-pivot steering
provide exceptional maneuverability, enabling the operator to work in
narrow aisles and limited-access job sites. The telehandler includes a
ROPS/FOPS-certified cab structure, clear sightlines to the boom and
forks, and ergonomically arranged controls that reduce operator fatigue
during repetitive lifting cycles.
The SkyTrak 3013 telehandler is powered by the Kubota
V1505 diesel engine, a widely used industrial powerplant known for its
exceptional longevity, smooth operation, and fuel efficiency. Many compact
telehandlers and small industrial machines rely on this engine due to its
straightforward mechanical design.
Engine characteristics:
- Make and model: Kubota V1505
- Number of cylinders: 4
- Displacement: 91.2 cu in (1.5 L)
- Gross power: 24.8 hp (18.5 kW)
- Maximum torque: 68.3 lb-ft (92.6 Nm)
- Fuel tank capacity: 14.5 gal (55 L)
The Kubota V1505 engine employs an indirect-injection diesel combustion system
optimized for consistent torque delivery at low and mid RPM ranges. The engine
block is cast iron, while the cylinder head is aluminum alloy to improve thermal
dissipation.
Its robust internal geometry allows it to
operate for extended periods under moderate loads without overheating.
The simplicity of its mechanical fuel-injection system reduces the
likelihood of electronic failures and simplifies field repair.
Basic engine service includes routine oil changes, replacement of fuel
filters, inspection of belts and hoses, and periodic coolant
replacement. The pre-heat indicator in the cab signals the operator to
wait for adequate glow-plug heating in cold weather before starting - a
standard feature on compact diesel-powered equipment.
The SkyTrak 3013 uses a hydrostatic drive system, well
suited to compact telehandlers where precision travel control is essential.
Transmission
- Transmission type: Hydrostatic
- Geers: 1-speed forward and 1-speed reverse
- Maximum travel speed: 10.5 mph (17 km/h)
Hydrostatic systems provide infinitely variable speed control based on pedal
modulation. By decoupling travel speed from engine speed, the system enables
operators to maintain high hydraulic power while creeping slowly during precise
load placement.
Axles
- Limited-slip front axle
- Oscillating rear axle
The oscillating rear axle enhances stability by maintaining ground contact on
uneven terrain. Limited-slip functionality improves forward traction by reducing
wheel spin when operating on soft or slippery surfaces.
Brakes
- Emergency brake: spring-applied, hydraulically released
- Service brake: hydraulic with inching capability
The inching feature is critical for telehandler applications, allowing the
operator to slow the machine to nearly zero travel speed while maintaining high
engine RPM for hydraulic flow. This dramatically improves fine placement of
loads.
The SkyTrak 3013 incorporates a conventional 12-volt
electrical system designed for durability in outdoor environments.
Although specific electrical output values
are not listed in the official document, the published instrumentation includes:
- Hourmeter
- Engine oil pressure indicator
- Coolant temperature indicator
- Fuel gauge
- Pre-heating indicator
- Battery charge indicator
- Air filter restriction indicator
These indicators allow the operator to monitor machine condition from startup to
shutdown. The wiring harness uses sealed connectors to reduce corrosion. Fuses
and relays are located in accessible compartments to simplify troubleshooting.
The SkyTrak 3013 is designed around a compact
welded-steel chassis offering high rigidity and durability. The low-profile
frame enables excellent visibility and stability.
Standard drive configuration:
- 2-wheel drive
- Rear steering with rear-wheel pivot
Tires
- Standard tires: 11.0/65x12 pneumatic Ag tread
- Optional tires: foam-filled Ag tread, pneumatic non-marking, foam-filled
non-marking, turf tires
These tire options allow customization based on terrain type and application.
Agricultural tread provides traction in loose soil, while turf tires minimize
surface damage in landscaped environments or sports facilities.
The telehandler features:
- 2-wheel rear pivot steering (power-assisted)
- Outside turning radius: 117 in (3 m)
Rear-pivot steering significantly reduces the turning radius compared to
front-steer-only machines, making the SkyTrak 3013 highly maneuverable indoors
or in confined areas such as alleyways, small construction lots, and warehouse
aisles. Power steering reduces operator fatigue during repetitive cycles.
Hydraulic
specifications:
- Implement hydraulic capacity: 8.5 gal (32 L)
- Pump type: gear pump
- Hydraulic holding valves included on functional circuits
Cycle Times
- Lift speed (boom retracted): up 10.9 sec, down 7.7 sec
- Boom extend speed: 7.5 sec
- Boom retract speed: 4.5 sec
The lift cylinder and extension cylinder operate through a simple,
load-conserving hydraulic arrangement that prioritizes predictable movement. The
lift and extension rates ensure operators can place loads with accuracy while
maintaining stable boom control.
