Maximum forward reach is 42.6 ft and the machine has a Tier-IV final 107hp Deutz TCD3.6L engine that uses diesel exhaust fluid, but requires no regeneration.

Aerial work platform Skyjack was displaying two new machines on its stand at CONEXPO/CON-AGG: the SJ1256 TH telehandler and the SJ85 AJ articulating boom.

Skyjack is continuing to develop its product range and is introducing a new articulating boom machine. The high performing SJ30 ARJE features a working height of 11m and a maximum weight capacity of 227kg. The firm says that the SJ30 ARJE is highly competitive compared with existing models in its class while offering customers the benefit of a high commonality of parts with its siblings, helping to lower fleet running costs. The machine is said to be easy to service and maintain and retains the firm’s novel

Skyjack has unveiled its tallest scissor lift to date. The SJIII 4740 has a working height of 13.8 m and is the first Skyjack product to enter the machine class. “The biggest advantage is the height,” said Malcolm Early, vice president of marketing at Skyjack. Customers have increasingly asked for a product with a higher reach, in part because facilities have undergone significant changes.

Early indicators are positive for construction manufacturers which rely on the rental industry, said Malcolm Early, vice president of marketing with Skyjack. Rental growth of about 3% is expected in Europe, but there is pent-up demand for specific products such as lift booms, he explained.
