Linamar Corporation’s (TSX-LNR) Skyjack
Division unveiled the SJ86 T telescopic
boom, as well as a charitable campaign to
mark the company’s 30th business anni-
versary, at Intermat, the triennial exhibition
for the construction and material industries,
held in Paris, France.
“When our customers expressed the need
for a boom with higher reach and greater
capacity, we listened,” said Skyjack Presi-
dent Brad Boehler. “It’s an exciting time –
we’re very pleased to be launching a new
telescopic product, the SJ86 T, which will
give Skyjack customers many new levels of
opportunity.”
The new SJ86 T telescopic boom with jib
helps meet increasing customer demand in
the rental industry with its higher capacity
and greater reach. The latest model boasts
a working height of 28.21 m and horizontal
outreach of 23.42 m. The jib has a range of
+65 degrees to -60 degrees and features an
optimised design that improve its strength.
Skyjack is using Intermat to kick off celebra-
tions in Europe surrounding the company’s
30th business anniversary. “As one of the
world’s leading suppliers of access equip-
ment, we are grateful that our customers,
communities and the industry have sup-
ported us consistently throughout the years,
allowing us to get where we are today,”
Boehler said. “As such, we want to use Sky-
jack’s 30th anniversary to give some- thing
back. And the best way we could think to do
this is via the products and the customers
that mean so much to us.”
In addition to revealing its new telescopic
boom, Skyjack also showcased two vertical
mast platforms – the SJ12 and the SJ16.
These popular models both boast a light-
weight design that provides operators with
low ground pressure and floor loading, a
zero-degree inside turning radius and a tra-
versing platform for added reach.
The world’s best-selling electric scissor lift, the
SJIII 3219, was also on display at the show – it
has a working height of 7.79 m, 30% grade-
ability and an overall capacity of 227 kg. The
machines in this class are all able to work
in the tightest of spaces, making them the
world’s top-selling aerial work platforms.
Exhibiting alongside the SJIII 3219 was
the SJIII 3226; this electric scissor lift is
extremely quiet, produces zero emissions
and boasts robust and reliable design
features that offer customers an easy to
service, low maintenance, compact and
versatile package.
From its articulating boom line, Skyjack
showed the range-topping SJ63 AJ; with
a unique open knuckle riser design for im-
proved visibility and dual lifting cylinders
that provide superior comfort and stability,
Skyjack’s SJ63 AJ features a working height
of 21.38 m and a 227 kg platform capacity.
Finally, Skyjack also exhibited the SJ6832
RTE from its rough-terrain scissor lift line,
the only machine in its category to offer a
45 % gradeability and four-wheel drive as
standard.
