FEBRUARY 20, 2023; Linamar Corporation’s (TSX:LNR) Skyjack division arrives at The ARA Show ’24 to announce the launch of a new micro scissor line in the SJ3213 micro and SJ3219 micro. Skyjack’s new micro scissor range represents a significant new choice in the low-level access arena.

The SJ3213 micro and SJ3219 micro remain simply reliable, combining low cost of ownership with Skyjack’s renowned product support. Fully proportional drive and lift controls offer superior drive with more efficiency, controllability and improved torque, while variable speed brushless AC electric front wheel drive provides exceptional duty cycles.

“Building on the success of the previous SJ3013/14 micro we now have not one but two new micros. Featuring E-Drive – improving controllability and providing consistent power, torque and traction,” shares Senior Product Manager Corey Connolly. “Our focus is always on improving productivity and cost of ownership, and E-Drive allows our newest micro scissors to give you more for less.”

The newest micros have been designed to fit most passenger style elevators and work in environments where space is at a premium while still providing a substantial work area. Key features of the latest micro line include:

• 13ft and 19ft platform heights,
• 500lb platform capacity,
• AC electric drive performance,
• Fits through a standard door (rails up),
• 20” rollout extension to increase work area and provide up and over capability,
• Low GVW fitting into standard elevator,
• Low floor loading.

“This is an exciting launch for Skyjack,” explained Skyjack President Charlie Patterson. “Our team understands the importance of maximum uptime and we pride ourselves on providing machine features that combine durability, quality and serviceability. Our new micro line is no exception, combining low cost of ownership with our world renowned product support for easy accessibility into tight spaces, earning the mighty micros moniker.”

Rental companies and major contractors face increasing demands for sustainability information.

Skyjack’s E-Drive scissors ECO benefits include:

• ZERO emissions,
• 90% recyclable (by weight),
