Skyjack Arrives to The ARA Show with a Full Fleet of Updates
POSTED January 30, 2025
January 30, 2025; Linamar Corporation’s (TSX:LNR) Skyjack division arrives at The ARA Show with an exciting lineup of machines featuring new and updated features.
Skyjack’s scissor line is especially well represented with the SJ6832 RT, as well as E-Drive representatives in the SJ4740 E, SJ3219 E with XStep, and the SJ3219 micro with the micro XStep.
Featuring brushless electric drive motors, Skyjack’s electric slab scissor line boasts simply more with improved efficiency, controllability, and torque. The micros offer the same E-Drive benefits with ease of accessibility into tight spaces.
As featured on the SJ3219 micro, the micro XStep empowers micro users working in hard-to-reach places with an additional 19 inches of working height. Like the original XStep, the micro version is mounted on the mid-rail of the scissor lift to provide further height with the same degree of security as a conventional platform. With both XStep options available, users of the standard E-Drive scissors and the micro scissors can safely utilize additional height in hard-to-reach places such as piping, ceiling work and between HVAC units.
In addition to the original XStep, the SJ3219 E also features perimeter lights. Projecting a clearly visible coloured light pattern on the floor, the lights act as a visual indicator to act as a warning to workers in the vicinity of an active scissor lift. With a simple installation process, the perimeter lights are compatible with Skyjack’s electric slab scissors.
“In recent years we have done extensive updates to our scissor line,” shared Charlie Patterson, President, Skyjack. “We rolled out E-Drive across our DC scissor line, as well as introduced the Mighty Micro line in the North American market. Paired with our newest machine enhancements, we’re proud to empower users with a range that is versatile, powerful, and environmentally conscious.”
The articulating booms are also well represented with the SJ30 ARJE and the SJ45 AJ+. The SJ30 ARJE electric articulating boom offers precise positioning capabilities with industry-leading up-and-over reach. Like all the updated 40ft and 60ft booms, the SJ45 AJ+ improves customer return by using SMARTORQUETM technology and data-driven design. SMARTORQUETM utilizes optimized gearing, and a simplified, high-efficiency hydraulics package, so these models can employ 25hp engines to deliver similar on-site job performance as higher powered units. On the telehandler side, the SJ519 TH showcases Skyjack’s TH series. Extending Skyjack’s principle of simple reliability into material handling equipment, the telehandler series is designed with all major service points easily accessible, limiting downtime and increasing our customers’ utilization.
The SJ45 AJ+ and SJ519 TH are both fitted with turf tires. Now available for 40’ and 60’ booms and the SJ519 TH, the turf tires are designed for use in environments with sensitive ground conditions. Providing excellent traction and floatation, they offer low impact with minimal ground disturbance. The turf tires are available as a factory fit or field retrofittable.
Representing the vertical masts, the SJ20 E will also be onsite at show. A quiet and versatile package with zero emissions, the entire vertical mast line offers increased duty cycle expectations and less hydraulic connection points. The new mast design paired with AC electric drive allows for exceptional maneuverability in a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications.
“We look forward to sharing our updates at The ARA Show,” explained Patterson. “We have a strong and diverse offering, with additions like micro XStep, perimeter lights, and turf tires to further enhance our machines and empower our users in a variety of applications and conditions.”
Skyjack will be on site for the duration of the show at booth 1501.
