Bil-Jax 4642T trailer-mounted telescopic boom lift
Specifications for the Bil-Jax 4642T from the archived Bil-Jax literature, and parts and service for it from an independent shop in Orlando, Florida.
The Bil-Jax 4642T adds a third, aluminum telescopic section to the 3632T design. The result is a trailer-mounted boom with about 52 ft of working height and 41 ft 6 in of outreach from centerline, the longest reach in the Summit Series towables, on a machine that still tows behind a half-ton pickup.
Like the rest of the series it sets up on hydraulic, self-leveling outriggers in about 30 seconds, and the ground and platform controls share the same push-button layout. A self-leveling platform, hydraulic surge brakes and a battery condition indicator are standard; a material lifting hook was an option.

Where the literature disagrees
Figures changed between production years and with options, so the serial plate on your machine is the final word. Other archived 4642T literature says:
- The later technical data sheet lists 440 to 500 lb capacity, 19 ft 2 in stowed length and ST 235/75 R15D tires.
- The old 4642T page said the machine weighs up to 6,100 lb depending on options and accessories.
Working height is the platform height plus 6 ft (2 m in metric), as is standard for aerial work platforms. Later Bil-Jax literature carries the Haulotte Group name, which is why the same machine is also looked up as the Haulotte 4642T.
