Skyjack began producing scissor lifts in 1986 and over a two year period managed to grow 30% to become a world leader in this specific industry. Over twenty years later Skyjack scissor lifts have remained one of the leading manufacturers. They offer a variety of scissor lifts as well as boom and other types of aerial platforms.
They design and produce a large line of self propelled scissor lifts that have elevated work heights which are able to reach a height of 56 feet. Each model is built with specific features using modern and innovative technology that improves the quality and durability of the scissor lift. The Skyjack scissor lifts can cost between $2,000 to $12,000 with a loading capacity between 600 to 1,100 pounds.
Their most recent and high quality model is the SJIII 3215. This Skyjack scissor lift is simple to service, comes available with a versatile package and features, and is very low maintenance. It is powered by a variable speed front wheel hydraulic drive with 90 degrees steering to allow users to maneuver through small spaces. It is also built with a 3’ roll out extension deck and has a working height of 21’. The loading capacity is 600 pounds.
It is important that any scissor lift model you purchase has the necessary safety features and components. Skyjack has also equipped their models with a steel swing out tray that allow unrestricted access and easy maintenance. When lowered the platform is high enough from the ground – which allows them to load it without much bending. The controls are situated on one side of the lift and are easy to use.
