 The new Gradall G6-42P material handler is powered by a Deere CD4045 60-kW (80-hp) engine and offers hydraulic power steering with manual backup.  |
Gradall's new means toward jobsite productivity, the G6-42P material handler, features an entirely new operator compartment design with 22% more cab room for extra comfort. From the re-designed seating module, an operator is afforded an improved view of the jobsite in all directions while using joysticks to control movements of the machine and its boom-end attachments. The boom can raise cargo to 13-m (42-ft) lift heights or reach out 9 m (29 ft). For extra lift height, a 2-m (6-ft) vertical mast is available.
The model G6-42P is capable of lifting loads of 3000 kg (6600 lb). The rugged three-section boom can be equipped with a variety of attachments including tilt, swing, and slope piler carriages, truss boom with winch, instant hook, buckets, and an aerial work platform.
Vital machine functions are monitored on the new wrap-around instrument panel. The cab is FOPS-/ROPS-certified.
Attachment changes are quick and easy due to a newly designed QuickSwitch. The G6-42P Gradall model has a functional high boom design while at the same time maintaining a low 2400-m (94-in) working profile for good operator visibility in any working mode.
 The new wraparound dash of the G6-42P enables easier viewing of critical machine functions. |
Maneuverability is improved with a no-shift hydrostatic drivetrain and Gradall's 90° rear-pivot steering for negotiating narrow aisles or crowded jobsites. For operating around tight corners and into precise positions, the model G6-42P pivots on one front wheel for load placements, keeping the load and forks inside the turning radius.
 The Quick-Switch attachment of the new material handler is designed to accomodate larger capacity G-series attachments. |
According to the company, the G6-42P is both mobile and stable on dirt, gravel, sand, or in sticky mud thanks to its four-wheel drive, low center of gravity, and 3300-mm (130-in) long wheelbase. The machine is powered by a Deere CD4045, 60-kW (80-hp) engine rated at 2500 rpm. The four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 4.5 L and is located in a new, low, mid-mounted compartment, enhancing weight distribution while making routine service functions more convenient than ever at ground level.

The Daewoo D60 Series is comprised of the D50S, D60S, and D70S diesel-powered, pneumatic tire trucks with lift capacities ranging from 5000-7000 kg (11,000-15,500 lb). They are powered by a Daewoo DB58 5.8-L, six-cylinder engine that delivers 74 kW (99 hp) at 2200 rpm. According to Daewoo, this field-proven engine delivers the necessary torque for high-power lifting, inching, pushing, or point-to-point travel in construction, lumber, rock and cement, railroading, and other industrial applications.
A three-speed electric power shift transmission allows operators to do high-power lifting while inching the truck forward. The twist-grip transmission control is located on the directional lever for enhanced efficiency, reducing the effort to shift gears. An improved powertrain design has increased the gradeability of the D60 Series to 52.3%, allowing the lift trucks to handle grades up to 27.6°.
 Daewoo D60 Series 5000 to 7000-kg (11,000 to 15,500-lb) capacity diesel-powered lift trucks are for use in heavy-duty, outdoor materials-handling operations. |
The D60 Series features a 9.5-mm (3/8-in) steel unitized frame that resists stress associated with outdoor applications while protecting hydraulic lines, powertrain, and fuel and hydraulic tanks. Rear 50-mm (2-in) thick fenders form an integral part of the frame for added strength. A forged-steel drive axle housing transfers load impact shocks to the frame, and full-floating axle shafts are isolated from the housing to protect drivetrain components from load shocks.
A tandem gear hydraulic pump delivers a constant flow of oil to steering and hydraulic systems. An anti-cavitation valve helps prevent hydraulic voids in the tilt circuit, and a flow control valve, mounted on the mast, controls carriage lowering speed. The trucks feature a fully hydrostatic steering system that offers fast, low effort steering response with no mechanical connectors between steering wheel and steering axle.
The operator's compartment is designed to reduce operator fatigue and for efficient operation and high productivity through the use of low-effort-brake, inching, and accelerator pedals. The overhead guards, mast, and carriage provide enhanced visibility in all directions.
A hinged, spring-loaded engine hood is easily raised for routine engine checks, and engine oil, coolant, and air-cleaner elements are accessible for convenient servicing. The tilt steering column can be adjusted for individual operators.
