SJ85 AJ

Unparalleled
Up-And-Over

Skyjack articulating booms offer precise positioning capabilities packaged in a high capacity boom with industry-leading up-and-over reach. The tight turning radius on these machines and minimal tailswing make them ideal for maneuvering in confined areas.

SPEEDYREACH™

Skyjack's SJ63/85 AJ features a boom geometry that allows the operator to lower the main fly boom to ground level to restock on material or supplies, then return to full height at the original working position - without lowering the riser section. It can be quickly executed and there is no need for machine repositioning or having to remember the sequence of operations to get back to the original working position - thus, improving productivity.

SKYRISER™

Ensures that the riser and main pivot point connecting the fly boom to the riser travel in a straight vertical line. Movement in a true vertical manner, without drifting forward or back, reduces the amount of repositioning the operator needs to do in order to stay close to a building facade, improving productivity.

EASYDRIVE™

This means the boom lift controls are always in the orientation of the operator regardless of position of turret over chassis. This reduces operator confusion by eliminating the need for colour coded arrows to determine drive versus joystick direction.

SKYCODED™

A proven and reliable control system, incorporating Skyjack’s color coded and numbered wiring system, make our machines the easiest to trouble shoot and repair which means easier maintenance and lowered costs.

AXLDRIVE™

An axle-based drive system with an operator controlled locking differential on the rear axle and limited slip differential on the front axle. This drive system has been proven as durable, low maintenance, and capable of navigating any job site terrain.

ACCESSORYZERS™

Skyjack offers a full line of ACCESSORYZERS™ to improve your machine’s versatility. These manufacturer-approved accessories are designed to add functionality to your machine and convenience for the operator. Whether it’s helping you get materials to the work site, protecting equipment from the weather, or enhancing productivity, Skyjack has the right accessory for the job.
