JLG Concept 1043T Quad Track Telehandler Showcased at 2026 Shows
Intended for productivity in extreme ground conditions like mud, sand and slopes.

JLG Industries will preview its 1043T Quad Track telehandler, a prospective tracked solution for customers working in general construction and specialty applications, at World of Concrete in Las Vegas, January 20-22, in booth #O31525 and at CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas, March 3-7, 2026, in the North Hall, booth #N12308. This innovative JLG design concept will help telehandler operators gain additional traction, flotation and maneuverability when working in challenging terrain, like loose or unstable ground conditions, wet or muddy environments and steep inclines/declines.
“Contractors are being asked to do more work in tougher conditions, and that’s exactly what inspired the innovation behind the 1043T Quad Track telehandler,” said Daryl Stauffer, Director Product Management - Telehandlers, JLG. “This preview model reflects how we’re listening to customers and exploring new ways to maintain productivity when the ground won’t cooperate.”
Intended to operate in extreme ground conditions where wheeled machines struggle, the 1043T concept model combines the reach and capacity of a telehandler with the terrainability benefits of quad tracks. The quad-track design on this model can help deliver better flotation than tires and help lower project costs by reducing the need for additional tracked equipment.
Designed to get work done in demanding conditions, the 1043T concept model is spec’d with a rated capacity 10,000-lb (4,536-kg) and a maximum lift height of 43-ft 5-in (13.2-m). Target applications for the 1043T include below-grade foundation restoration, heavy civil construction and deep sheeting and shoring projects, particularly on wet sand and clay soils or steep, muddy inclines. The result will be improved mobility in mud, sand and snow, reduced ground disturbance and the ability to work confidently on loose or unstable terrain.
“The 1043T Quad Track telehandler is about enabling productivity in the most challenging ground conditions,” said Stauffer. “This concept model lets us show customers how tracked mobility can help their crews stay on schedule when terrain becomes the biggest obstacle.”
