Lull Telescopic Forklift – the US telehandler range, today under JLG: the 644E42, 944E42 and 1044C54 with John Deere and Cummins engines, 74 to 85 kW

Lull was one of the pioneering telehandler makers in the United States; the brand now belongs to JLG Industries. The type designations follow the logic common in the industry: the first number gives the lift capacity in thousands of pounds, the second the maximum lift height in feet – so the 644E42 denotes 6,000 lb capacity at 44 ft of lift height, the 944E42 9,000 lb at 44 ft, and the 1044C54 10,000 lb at 54 ft. The models are powered by John Deere and Cummins diesel engines.

The register lists here 3 versions with 74 to 85 kW output, displacements around 4,501.5 cm³ across four cylinders, and operating weights from 10,646 to 14,220 kg. The engines fitted are the John Deere 4045TF275 and the Cummins B4.5T Turbo and QSB4.5T Turbo; cab height ranges between 2,420 and 2,460 mm.

These heavy rough-terrain telehandlers are used on construction sites and in agriculture for high lift heights and capacities, where Lull traditionally competed with JCB, Manitou and its own sister brand JLG.

When buying used, what matters is wear on the telescopic boom sections and their wear pads, the tightness of the lift and tilt hydraulic cylinders, the condition of the off-road tyres and all-wheel steering, and a complete maintenance record for the diesel engine; spares now run through the JLG dealer network.

What to check before buying

Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
