2026 Weidemann Telehandler T7042

Telehandlers T7042 - Expect more, Get more!

The T7042 offers 7 m lifting height with 4.2 t payload and is configurable with two powerful engine variants. The main focus of operational work tasks is heavy material handling, precise stacking work at great heights, good reach when pushing material, and permanent activities when filling systems. The unique and revolutionary Best View Cabin provides a guaranteed perfect all-round visibility. The T7042 has only four pillars in the cabin. In combination with the panoramic rear window, this results in a perfect view to the rear. In addition, the sloped engine bonnet provides an optimum view to the side and rear of the right rear wheel. This telehandler also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of work ergonomics. A cabin has been created keeping in mind the Operator First operating philosophy. This cabin has been developed according to the latest findings in safety technology and ergonomics.

Revolutionary Best View Cabin

• The Best View cabin with a unique 4-pillar design and panoramic rear windshield provides an incomparable all-round view. The large, curved front windshield provides an excellent view of the attachment and loading, no matter what the position of the telescopic boom is. The sloped engine hood provides an optimal view to the side and rear of the right rear wheel. The view-optimized, optional protective grate provides the highest level of safety without restricting the view.
• Operator first: In the development of the Weidemann Best View cabin, the operator’s comfort was a top priority. This can be seen in the ergonomic organization of all of the operating elements, as well as the color-oriented operating concept, the high-quality operator seat (optional air-suspension), and the sprung joystick console, large 7-inch display, different storage compartments, and a height and incline adjustable steering wheel.

Power Drive 255: variable hydrostatic transmission

• The Power Drive 255 is a variable, hydrostatic transmission that achieve high thrust power and driving speeds than previously developed solutions. All this while maintaining all of the benefits of the previous traction drive in relation to compactness, energy-efficient, and operator comfort. With the Power Drive 255, speeds of up to 40 km/h can be reached without the need to shift gear and/or adjust the mode. This enables a comfortable manner of driving as there are no interruptions to the thrust power.

30/40 km/h driving speed

• With the corresponding engine version, the machine optionally reaches a speed of 30/40 km/h. This enables faster implementation of the machine from A to B with the corresponding time-saving and therefore increases productivity.

Load arm damping with automatic function

• The load boom dampening can be activated electrically and enables optimal handling of the machine on impassable terrain and while on the road. It is particularly recommended if the machine transports heavy loads in the bucket and/or on the pallet fork, or moves a heavy attachment across a wide stretch at high speed. Here, the load boom dampening provides a clear plus for the operator’s comfort.
• The boom dampening can be completely switched off and/or constantly switched on. Additionally, there is an automatic function. Here, you can use the jog dial to set the driving speed from which the boom dampening should automatically activate. If it falls below the set driving speed again, the load boom dampening is likewise automatically deactivated.
• Lifting arm damping prevents the machine from rocking at high travel speeds. This increases safety for the operator and protects the vehicle components by absorbing shocks.

Flexible trailer operation up to 16 t

• The machine can pull a trailer with the optional trailer coupling. There are different systems available: Automatic trailer coupling (height-adjustable), automatic drawbar coupling, ball-hitch trailer coupling K50/K80, Piton-fix and auto-hitch trailer coupling.
• So that large trailer loads can be moved safely, a dual-line air brake system or a hydraulic trailer brake must be used (attention: the national regulations must be adhered to).
• The option of pulling a trailer expands the machine’s spectrum of application and offers more flexibility, as no additional towing vehicle is required.

Automatic air-conditioning system

• The air-conditioning system ensures the provision of a comfortable working environment inside the cab with warmer ambient temperatures. A conventional air-conditioning system usually only cools at one level, which can be controlled by the strength of the blower. The Weidemann air-condition system works with sensors and reduces or increases the interior temperature entirely according to the operator’s provisions. This ensures a consistent climate and provides the benefit that the air-conditioning of the cabin can be optimally adapted to the ambient temperature.
• The air-conditioning system increases the operator’s comfort. It enables fatigue-free working conditions as it reduces the operator’s stress when ambient temperatures are warm.

Performance

100 % connectible differential lock

• Compared with a self-locking differential, the connectible 100 % differential lock ensures maximum traction and thrust power where required. This increases the machine’s efficiency.
• The differential lock is switched off during normal traction drive, this provides safety and causes less tire wear, thus saving in operating costs.

High hydraulic performance

• A Weidemann machine has sufficient hydraulic performance and is therefore suitable for the operation of many different attachments.
• The flexible combination of machine and a number of hydraulically-powered attachments covers numerous work tasks.
• The advantage: Machines with high hydraulic performance save money, because it is not necessary to unavoidably switch to a larger machine.

Optimal tires

• Putting the correct tires on a machine plays an important role in practical application. If the tires are coordinated with the ground and the area of application, the operator can optimally work with the machine.
• Alongside maximum traction, the selection of correct tires also ensures minimal wear and a comfortable ride in the machine. These aspects also increase the service life of the tires, while simultaneously increasing economic efficiency.
• So that optimal performance is achieved on any substrate, there are different treads available for selection depending on the model: EM tread, AS tread, SureTrax tread, RP tread, MPT tread, Multi-use tread, and Bibload tread. This already ensures the maximum flexibility ex works in the machine configuration.

Clear digital 7 inch display

• Always have the most important functions in view: With the digital display, the operator always has an overview of the work. Alongside the standard displays, like temperature, fuel volume, and operating hours, the active functions are also displayed in the cockpit, for example the activated electrical functions, the continuous operation of the 3rd control circuit or the activated differential lock.
• Affixed to the right on the dashboard, the operator always has the display within view - without it restricting their visibility.
• The different functions and settings are controlled via the jog dial operating element. This provides the operator with easy and comfortable operation.

Compact dimensions for optimal maneuverability

• Compact dimensions and directional stability ensure optimal agility and high maneuverability of the machine. 
• In terms of its dimensions, the machine is ideally sized. This also makes it possible to perform works in confined spaces.

Compact telehandler

• The compact Weidemann telehandler are unique in their combination of lifting height, width and machine efficiency. With the all-wheel steering and all-wheel drive, they are absolutely stable and well-equipped for many different work tasks.
• Thanks to the all-wheel steering and the divided frame, the Weidemann telehandlers are particularly maneuverable and very stable. The machine’s low center of gravity likewise strengthens the stability.

Efficiency

Working economically

• Economic efficiency is one of the most important characteristics that a machine should provide for efficient application. The quicker and more time-saving a machine is maneuvered, the higher the level of performance.
• With Weidemann machines, the economic efficiency stands for technically mature solutions, like the powerful drive, strong thrust powers, powerful kinematics, high maneuverability, distinguished stability, and an efficient quick hitch system for attachments.
• More factors that show economic efficiency: less wear, high-quality powder-coating, hardened bolts, good service accessibility, high cylinder speeds, and flexible driving speeds.

Efficient change of attachments

• Thanks to the hydraulic quick hitch system, attachments can be replaced both quickly and comfortably. Good visibility of the quick hitch plate makes it particularly easy to swap the attachment. 
• With the 2-handed operation when uncoupling, the changeover of attachments is decidedly safe.
• The machine can be immediately put back into operation after the attachment change. This increases productivity and economic efficiency.

Consistent operating philosophy

• There is a consistent operating concept with clearly divided and ergonomically assigned switches and keypads in all Weidemann machines. All machines are very similar, if not the same, in terms of the manner of operation. This has the advantage that an operator can quickly establish themselves in different Weidemann machine, and then work productively.
• The Weidemann operating philosophy provides the operator with a simple understanding of the machine, whereby they are able to orientate themselves well and work safety. This is apparent, for example, in the recurring elements, such as the Jog-Dial, joystick, display, general switch assignment, etc.

Jog dial operating element

• The jog dial operating element enables the operation and selection of different machine parameters and functions via the display: For example, setting the load boom dampening, selection of operating hours and machine information or the reproduction of service intervals. The jog dial is well positioned for access in the operator’s work area.
• If necessary, the flow rate of the hydraulic oil can be manually set using the jog dial control element. This is advantageous if the machine drives a hydraulic attachment, which does not require the full hydraulic performance of the machine. The operator can work with the machine and attachment very sensitively and in a resource-conserving way.
• In the event of a service, the important fault notifications and required machine information can be quickly displayed using the jog dial. This accelerates diagnostics and reduces the machine downtime.

Inch brake pedal: Engine output where it is needed.

1. No pressure on the inch-brake pedal: Full power for the drive.
2. Lightly pressed inch-brake pedal: Speed is reduced, more power in the work hydraulics.
3. Heavily pressed inch-brake pedal: Speed is further reduced, even more power in the work hydraulics.
4. Fully pressed inch-brake pedal: The wheel loader stands, full power in the work hydraulics.

• Benefit of the inch-brake pedal: Less wear in the operating brake, as well as an optimal power distribution of the engine output.
• The inch-brake pedal and the hydrostatic drive make it possible to work very sensitively with the machine.

Pressure release on the telescopic boom

• The button to release the pressure is easily accessible on the outside of the telescopic boom. This way, the various hydraulically operated attachments can be changed more quickly and efficiently. This also works when the engine is running.
• When the pressure release is activated, the active hydraulic control circuit is switched to pressureless and the hydraulically-operated attachments can be effortlessly and safety swapped.

Electronically regulated drive system

• Smart operation and working: With the electronically controlled traction drive, the machine can be driven and used properly. Two different drive modes were specially implemented for this by Weidemann. Auto mode and Eco mode.
• The electronic control reduces loss in traction drive and ensures a higher degree of efficacy when compared with existing solutions, and improved efficiency. A lower power requirement enables operation at lower rpm.

Quality

Sturdy telescopic arm

• The telescopic arm is both sturdy and stable in design, and is positioned in the middle of the machine, which counteracts the twisting. The parallel guide is hydraulic and the sliding elements in the interior pipe of the telescopic arm are maintenance-free. This reduces wear and increases the service life of the machine.

Variety

Variety of equipment

• Weidemann machines have comprehensive and high-quality standard equipment. Moreover, it is possible to individually configure e.g. engine, drive, driver’s cab or hydraulics, depending on the application purpose and model. It always guarantees that the machine fulfills the individual demands and preferences of the customer.

Rear hydraulic connections

• The telehandler can be equipped with hydraulic connections on the rear. As a result, the application possibilities for the machine are expanded, because the hydraulic rear attachment or the tipper trailer can be operated.
• The machine can be applied multi-functionally for different activities. No additional vehicles and/or machines are required.

Front and/or rear electrical connections

• The machine can be equipped with electrical connections to the front and/or rear. As a result, electrically operated auxiliary functions of attachments, for example a sweeper with a water-spray facility, can be operated. In addition to this, it is possible to changeover the auxiliary functions of hydraulic attachments. Operation is comfortable and via the joystick.
• The electric functions (tentative/resting) can be individually assigned to the operating elements of the joystick, as desired.
• Electrical connection on the front and/or back ensure that a number of attachments can be operated using the machine. This again increases the machine’s application range.

Three types of steering for maximum flexibility

• To be able to achieve maximum maneuverability and flexibility, there are three types of steering available: All-wheel, front-axle and crab steering. With this the operator is able to maneuver the machine to the centimeter within small areas, and drive safely at high speed.
• 1. All-wheel steering: Full maneuverability and power development in the smallest area.
  2. Front axle steering: For safe operation, even at higher speeds.
  3. Crab steering: Sideways operation for shunting to the centimeter when subject to confined spaces.

Unmatched maneuverability

• Compact dimensions, directional stability, and a 45° steering lock ensure optimal agility and high maneuverability of the machine.
• In terms of its dimensions, the machine is ideally sized. This also makes it possible to perform works in confined spaces.

Maintenance

Easily accessible machine components.

• It is essential to regularly lubricate all the machine’s lubrication points for correct and effective maintenance, and, as a result, the application safety. To save time and make the workload easier, the lubrication points are always in easily accessible positions with Weidemann.
• As the lubrication points are easily accessible, regular lubrication of the machine is particularly easy. In turn, this increases the service life of the machine and the value retention.

Fully automatic central lubrication unit

• The time intervals for the lubrication procedure and the intervals can be set on fully-automatic central lubrication systems. With the regular re-lubrication of all lubrication points, the application safety of the machine is increased. 
• With the fully-automatic central lubrication system, machine lubrication is automatic, therefore resolved very comfortably. This means a clear saving in time and an increase in the service life of the machine, thus increases the value retention.

Maintenance-free hydraulic piping

• Generally, short hydraulic hoses are installed in Weidemann machines. This means that the hoses are divided at several points. In the event that a hydraulic hose needs replacing, it is only the effected part that is replaced. As a result, it is not the whole hose connection within the hydraulic circuit that needs to be replaced. This accelerates the repair times enormously, and is also more cost-efficient.

Reversible fan

• At the press of a button, dirt is blown out of the cooling fins and off of the intake surfaces of the engine hood. The hydraulic motor and pumps are designed in such a way that the air flow can be reversed in the fan (reverse option). This protects the machine against damage from overheating, and prevents additional manual maintenance efforts.
• The reversible fan increase the service life of the engine and provides a plus-point in terms of comfort for the operator.

Optimal service friendliness

• The engine hood can be easily opened upwards, and the transversely installed engine is very easy to access from all sides.
• Cabin air filters and the windscreen wiper-washer container are to left of the door when entering, and the filler neck for the urea solution is easily accessible on the left side behind a closable maintenance flap.
• All filters and maintenance points are easy to reach. Through the quick and easy maintenance, the availability of the machine is maximized and the operating costs are optimized.

Comfort

Adjustable steering wheel and steering column

• The steering wheel and column can, to a great extent, be individually adjusted both in height and in incline. This makes it possible for each operator to work very ergonomically and with concentration with the settings appropriate for them.

Ergonomic Joystick

• The joystick sits securely and comfortably in the hand. Control is therefore direct, while also being sensitive. Thus the operator always has machine and the most important functions under control.
• Alongside the standard functions, like selecting the travel direction and the speed, other functions, e.g. the differential lock, the 3rd and 4th control circuit, High-Flow, and all electrical functions, can be operated using the joystick, depending on the model. This enables the comfortable one-handed operation of attachments.
• The concentration of the most important functions on the joystick ensures for comfortable working, even over a longer period of time, and increase the overall efficiency when working with the machine.

Joystick console spring-mounted on the operator's seat

• The joystick console is mounted to the operator’s seat and moves with the vibrations. If the operator’s seat is set to the operator’s requirements, the joystick console is always in the perfect position. A benefit to both comfort and ergonomics for the operator.
• The joystick console and the operator’s seat form one unit. As a result of this, it is possible to guarantee the arm position of the operator, while working with the machine remains constant. This increases the operator’s comfort, which in turn means they are productive for longer and able to work more focused.

Ergonomic cockpit

• Plenty of legroom, clearly arranged controls, comfortable operator’s seat, and optimal view of the attachment. A work area that motivates the operator and fully supports them.
• The operator’s comfort is increased through the well-coordinated equipment and they are able to optimally work with the machine for longer.

Comfortable working environment

• The efficiently designed heating and ventilation system with fan, fresh air filter and well-placed air nozzles keeps the cab in a comfortable working climate.
• There are always sufficient air nozzles installed in the different cab versions by Weidemann, which enable good air circulation and the working climate is pleasant for the operator.

Air-conditioning system

• The optionally available air-conditioning system, ensures the provision of a comfortable working environment inside the cab with warmer ambient temperatures. It ensures a high air flow rate and is characterized by an optimized cooling capacity. The operating element for control and the air nozzles are always in the best-possible position.
• The air-conditioning system increases the operator’s comfort. It enables fatigue-free working conditions as it reduces the operator’s stress when ambient temperatures are warm.

Comfortable and ergonomic operator's seat

• The operator’s seat is ergonomically shaped, well sprung, and adjustable. The joystick console, including the armrest, forms a unit with the operator’s seat, yet is likewise adjustable and moves. The optionally available, air-sprung comfort seat provides even more pleasant conditions. A heated seat is available for cold temperatures. This increases the operator’s comfort, which in turn means they are able to work focused with the machine for longer.
• Depending on the model, different seats are available to match the size of the machine. The various seat adjustment options allow individual settings for the operator, providing optimum comfort.

Proportional speed limiters (slow operational facility)

• With the proportional speed limiters (slow operational facility), it is possible to achieve very slow speeds at a constant engine rpm in the first driving mode. This presents an advantage when using attachments, which are operated with a constantly high rpm, yet simultaneously with very low driving speed.
• The proportional speed limiters (slow operational facility) enables comfortable and focused working with attachments, e.g. a sweeper, a hedge cutter, or a mulcher, even over a longer period of time.

Manual throttle

• The hand throttle enables the manual setting of a constant rpm for optimal operation of an attachment. The variable setting is performed comfortably and precisely via a corresponding potentiometer.
• The manual throttle ensures comfortable and focused working with attachments, e.g. a sweeper, a hedge cutter, or a mulcher, even over a longer period of time.

Flat-Face Hydraulic Couplings

• Easy attachment changeover: The flat-face hydraulic couplings can be cleaned easily, ensuring less soiling in the entire hydraulic system. When the hydraulic hoses are coupled, hardly any leaking occurs, keeping hands, the machine, the attachment, and the ground clean.
• With the flat-face hydraulic couplings, hydraulically operated attachments can be coupled even under pressure, which saves time. All coupling types are mounted on the same bulkhead and are thus easily accessible.

vls (Vertical Lift System)

• The vls (Vertical Lift System) is an operator assistance system, which makes work easier when lifting or lowering of loads. This is because it semi-automatically extends the telescopic boom when lifting and retracts it when lowering without the operator needing to control the telescopic function. This enables a smooth and quick manner of work.
• The almost vertical lifting and lowering movement makes the telehandler with vls very stable because the load does not move into the overload range. Experienced operators can work even faster and safer with vls. Inexperienced operators are given valuable support in lifting and load work.
• The vls (Vertical Lift System) can be applied to three different modes: In the bucket mode, the telescopic boom always automatically retracts within the upper and lower range, and in the upper range the telescopic boom will not automatically extend. This is suitable, for example, for loading work with bulk material. In the stacking mode, the telescopic boom does not automatically retract in the lower range, in the upper range the telescopic boom automatically extends, it is possible to lower the telescopic boom while simultaneously extending it. This is suitable, for example, for stacking work with pallets. In the manual mode, all movements of the loading system and the telescopic boom are operated independent of one another, and the lifting and lowering speed is automatically adjusted (load and angle dependent). This is suitable, for example, for thrust work.

Safety

Illumination of the work area

• The lighting can be adapted for different requirements: Halogen lighting, lighting according to StVZO, LED lighting, and additional work lights on the driver's cab or the telescopic arm. This makes it possible to individually work with the machine, in particular when its dark.
• A well-lit work area increases work safety and lets the operator work even longer with the machine, both safely and with concentration.

Easy entry and exit

• With just a few steps, the operator is comfortably in the Weidemann telehandler cab. This is made possible by the large and anti-slip steps, and the easily accessible handles. This increases the level of safety for the operator when entering and exiting the machine.

Braking system: Multi-disc brakes

• The multi-disc brake is virtually maintenance-free and experiences only minimal wear. Its closed design makes it resistant to contamination and aggressive substances. This ensures reliable and safe operation and increases the service life of the braking system.
• The braking is always set to 100 % when activated, no matter whether operated automatically or manually. This increase work safety for the operator and protects the working environment.

Color-coded operating concept

• The matured Weidemann operation philosophy and the color-oriented operating concept enable intuitive machine operation for the operator. The quick orientation makes it easier for new or different operators to work with the machine, while simultaneously increasing work safety.
• All operating elements are within reach and the operator has the most important machine information available at a glance on the optimally positioned display.
• The switch and operating elements are divided by color into different groups: gray = electric, red = safety, blue/orange = traction drive, green = hydraulic. As a result of this, quick ascertainability and orientation are guaranteed at any time.

Front and rear-view camera for maximum safety

• The high-quality, wide-angled cameras at the rear and the front on the right fender increase safety when working with the machine, because the operator can easily monitor areas that are otherwise difficult to see. 
• The camera image of the rear camera is automatically displayed on the 7-inch main display if the reverse travel direction is engaged. The camera image of the front camera is permanently displayed on the additional display via the 7-inch main display. As a result of the additional display, the operator can simultaneously view the camera images of both cameras, and maneuver the machine with the highest level of safety.
• With the cameras that are installed ex works, there are no annoying cables in the cabin or on the front of the vehicle, which normally arise with cameras that are retrofitted.

Good visibility of the load

• A telehandler brings advantages into play when dealing with the high stacking of loads. In order to position the load safely at great height, it is particularly the view upwards that is of importance. With Weidemann telehandlers, the cabin and the windshield are designed in such a way that the operator always has the load in view, even a max. lifting height. The three windscreen wipers (front, rear, and roof) guarantee optimal visibility at all times.

Good visibility to the right

• The view to the right is often insufficient with many telehandlers. With Weidemann, this is guaranteed as a result of the large, right window, the low positioning of the telescopic boom, and the steep, sloping engine hood. The operator always has the optimal view of the area to the right alongside the machine, as well as the right mirror. This clearly increases safety when working with the machine.

Eco-friendliness

Current emission standard and suitable engine

• In the implementation of the current emissions guideline for the reduction of exhaust emissions and pollutants, it is important that there are no compromises in terms of performance, service life of economic efficiency, despite the strict regulations. To execute this guideline, Weidemann installs the most up-to-date engine technologies, which are equipped with different exhaust after-treatment systems.
• Every machine can be equipped with the appropriate engine version for its size class. This prevents over- or under-powering, which again ensures fuel-saving and economical working.
