FAQs
How much can the SANY STH742 lift?
The machine has a maximum rated capacity of 4,200 kg. Actual capacity depends on boom height, reach, attachment and load position, so the correct load chart must always be followed.
How high can it lift?
The STH742 has a maximum lifting height of approximately 7 metres.
Can it lift 4.2 tonnes to its maximum height?
No. Its published capacity at maximum height is 2,500 kg. The 4,200 kg rating only applies within the appropriate area of the machine’s load chart.
What can it lift at maximum forward reach?
The published capacity at maximum reach is approximately 1,300 kg. The operator must check the machine’s load chart before every lift.
Does the hire include forks?
Standard forks and a fork carriage can normally be supplied. Please confirm the required fork dimensions and carriage arrangement when requesting a quote.
Are other attachments available?
Compatible attachments may include material buckets and specialist handling accessories. Availability and suitability must be confirmed before hire.
NEED HELP CHOOSING?
Our team is here to help you find the right machine for your project.
Can fork extensions be used?
Only approved, compatible extensions should be used. Extensions can reduce the machine’s lifting capacity by moving the load centre forward.
Does the operator need training?
Yes. The telehandler must only be operated by someone who is trained, competent and authorised for the machine, attachment and work being undertaken.
Can it be used to lift suspended loads?
Only where the machine and approved attachment are suitable, the correct load chart is available and the operation has been properly planned by a competent person.
Can it lift people?
Personnel must never be carried on standard forks or improvised platforms. Any work-platform operation requires approved equipment, appropriate machine compatibility and a properly planned safe system of work.
Can it operate on uneven ground?
Telehandlers require firm, stable ground. Slopes, excavations, soft ground and surface obstructions must be assessed before operation.
What steering modes does it have?
The STH742 offers two-wheel steering, four-wheel steering and crab steering for different site conditions.
What should be checked before use?
Daily checks should include tyres, forks, carriage, hydraulic components, fluid levels, warning systems, load chart, mirrors, camera and safety devices.
Can you deliver it to site?
Yes. Delivery and collection can be arranged across Yorkshire. Adequate access and a safe unloading area will be required.
