The JCB 509-42 is a Lift & Place telehandler aimed at construction work that requires both substantial capacity and elevated reach. It offers a 9,000 lb maximum lift capacity, reaches 42 ft high and provides 28 ft of forward reach, allowing operators to place materials over walls, foundations and other site obstructions. The machine retains 6,000 lb of capacity at maximum height and 1,800 lb at full reach.

A 109 hp JCB EcoMAX Tier 4 Final diesel engine supports lifting, travel and attachment work across demanding jobsites. Front-wheel, all-wheel and crab steering make it easier to position the machine around structures, while rear axle stabilization and frame sway help support controlled lifting on uneven ground. Standard auxiliary hydraulics and proportional boom controls add flexibility for contractors who need accurate material placement as well as attachment capability.
