JLG SkyTrak 6034 Specifications
The JLG SkyTrak 6034 telehandler is a mid-range
rough-terrain lifting machine designed to provide a balanced combination of
height, reach, and lifting capacity while maintaining intuitive controls and low
operating costs. It occupies a versatile position in the SkyTrak lineup, serving
contractors, framers, industrial maintenance crews, agricultural operations, and
rental fleets that require dependable performance without excessive machine
footprint.
With a rated load capacity of 6,000 lb (2,722
kg), a maximum lift height of 34 ft 5 in (10.5 m), and a forward reach
of 23 ft 2 in (7.1 m), the 6034 is engineered to handle palletized
loads, construction materials, trusses, landscape supplies, and various
attachments in environments where maneuverability and stability are
equally essential. The machine incorporates rugged construction, a
Tier-compliant Deutz diesel engine, hydrostatic transmission, multi-mode
steering, and a cab designed for operator confidence and all-day
comfort.
The 6034 telehandler exemplifies the durability and operator-friendly
nature of the SkyTrak brand. Key features include a lightweight yet
strong chassis, electric-over-hydraulic joystick controls, an advanced
control system for diagnostics, and substantial hydraulic performance
for smooth and responsive boom functions. The ability to transport the
6034 using common truck-and-trailer combinations adds to its
practicality across job sites.
Stability is enhanced by a long wheelbase, wide
stance, rear oscillating axle, and load-holding valves that maintain
boom position even under variable load conditions. Combined with
excellent visibility, intuitive steering modes, and an efficient
operating layout, the SkyTrak 6034 provides the right balance of power,
precision, and reliability for a broad segment of telehandler users.
The SkyTrak 6034 is powered by a Deutz TCD 2.9 L4
diesel engine, designed for torque-rich performance, fuel efficiency, and long
operating life. This four-cylinder, turbocharged engine features electronic fuel
management, durable cast-iron construction, and emissions-compliant performance
for modern work environments.
Engine specifications:
- Make and model: Deutz TCD 2.9L4
- Number of cylinders: 4
- Displacement: 177 cu in (2.9 L)
- Rated gross power: 74 hp (55 kW) @ 2,400 rpm
- Maximum torque: 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) @ 1,600 rpm
- Fuel tank capacity: 28 gal (106 L)
The Deutz TCD 2.9 L4 uses high-pressure common-rail injection and an efficient
turbocharging system to maintain torque at low RPM. Its torque curve is
optimized for telehandler applications, enabling smooth boom operation even
under partial throttle.
The cooling system includes a high-capacity
radiator, thermostatic coolant control, and a belt-driven cooling fan
engineered for challenging environments. Because the 6034 sees
continuous lifting and hydraulic demand, the engine is tuned for low-RPM
reliability rather than peak Hp.
Routine engine service includes replacing the fuel filter at standard
intervals, monitoring intercooler cleanliness, inspecting belts, and
maintaining oil quality. The engine is supported by diagnostic
parameters visible through the machine’s onboard systems.
The SkyTrak 6034
uses a hydrostatic transmission engineered to provide:
- Smooth directional control
- Fine modulation for close-quarters placement
- Consistent performance under varying loads
Specification:
- Transmission type: Hydrostatic, 1-speed forward / 1-speed reverse
- Top travel speed: 15 mph (24.1 km/h)
Hydrostatic drive enables infinitely variable speed modulation, providing
precise control during lift-and-place operations. This is especially
advantageous when aligning materials on elevated structures or working near
obstacles. Travel and hydraulic power are decoupled, allowing operators to hold
loads steady while maintaining engine RPM for hydraulic pressure.
Axles
- Full-time planetary 4-wheel drive
- Oscillating rear axle with Stabil-Trak system
Planetary axles distribute torque evenly and provide high durability, while
rear-axle oscillation preserves traction and helps the machine maintain
stability over uneven terrain. Stabil-Trak adds lateral stability by balancing
the chassis under certain load conditions.
Brakes
- Hydraulically actuated inboard wet-disc brakes with inching feature
- Emergency brake included
Wet-disc brakes deliver continuous braking performance with reduced wear and
minimal adjustment. The inching feature allows operators to slow machine
movement without reducing hydraulic output, uniquely beneficial for telehandler
operations requiring simultaneous driving and lifting.
The SkyTrak 6034 contains an electrical system
structured for durability in harsh environments. It includes sealed connectors,
protected harness routing, and heavy-duty components appropriate for a job-site
telehandler.
Electrical instrumentation includes:
- LCD diagnostics display
- Hourmeter
- Fuel gauge
- Temperature gauge
- Speedometer
- Tachometer
Additional features include fault-code memory, sensor monitoring, and pre-heat
system indicators. The system is designed to provide clear operational feedback,
enabling early detection of engine or hydraulic issues.
Drive System: Full-time planetary 4-wheel drive
The chassis is a welded high-strength steel structure engineered for high
torsional rigidity. Its geometry provides stability at full boom extension and
optimized weight distribution for load handling.
Tires:
- Standard: 15-19.5 pneumatic
- Optional: Foam-filled, solid, turf, non-marking (pneumatic or foam-filled)
The variety of tire options allows adaptation to industrial floors, unimproved
terrain, landscaping, warehouse yards, and hazardous environments requiring
puncture-resistant tires.
The SkyTrak 6034 features a versatile steering system designed for
maneuverability in complex environments. Turning radius: 11 ft 11 in (3.6 m).
Steering modes:
- 4-wheel circle steering
- 4-wheel crab steering
- 2-wheel front steering
Hydraulic power steering reduces steering effort and maintains smooth response
even at low engine RPM. Multi-mode steering enhances versatility, enabling tight
U-turns, diagonal motion for alignment near walls, and conventional road-style
steering.
Hydraulic system
specifications:
- Implement hydraulic capacity: 35.7 gal (135 L)
- Pump type: Gear pump
- System: Variable-flow, load-sensing
- Load-holding valves on frame leveling, attachment tilt, extend, and lift
cylinders
The load-sensing hydraulic system optimizes pump output based on demand,
reducing fuel usage and heat generation. Boom movements remain proportional and
predictable, enhancing fine placement control.
Cycle Times
- Lift speed (boom retracted): up 11 sec / down 9 sec
- Boom extend speed: 10 sec
- Boom retract speed: 10 sec
The hydraulic control system includes electric-over-hydraulic joystick
operation, improving accuracy and reducing operator fatigue. Hydraulic lines are
routed for protection, and service access is facilitated through removable
panels.
