Advantages

• Deutz Turbo Diesel: Known for reliability and efficient torque delivery, the Deutz turbo diesel provides steady power for lifting, driving, and multi-function operation. In practice, this means confident performance on grades, predictable throttle response, and fuel efficiency that helps control operating costs over long workdays.
• 4WD Traction: True four-wheel drive helps the SJ86T move across gravel, packed soil, and uneven surfaces, reducing the need for ground prep. On large sites where access is constantly changing, 4WD can save time, limit repositioning, and keep productivity high.
• Foam Filled Rough Terrain Tires: Foam filling adds puncture resistance and stability compared to air-filled tires. This is a practical advantage on sites with debris, rebar ends, or sharp aggregate where flats can derail a work plan. The firm, stable ride also supports accurate platform positioning.
• 8' Platform: An 8-foot platform gives crews room to work, stage materials, and use tools comfortably. The extra width supports efficient workflows at height, helping reduce trips up and down and increasing overall productivity on installation, finishing, and maintenance tasks.
• Generator On-Board: Having power at the platform is a significant time-saver. With the generator on this SJ86T, technicians can plug in hand tools and equipment where they’re working, which is especially useful for drilling, fastening, lighting, or powering small devices at elevation.
• Jib for Fine Positioning: The jib adds articulation at the platform, enabling finer approach angles and better positioning around obstructions. This helps crews get “just right” alignment for precision tasks like steel erection, cladding, signage, or piping work without moving the whole machine.
• 86' Platform Height and 92' Working Height: The reach profile is ideal for mid- to high-elevation scopes, including multi-story commercial facades, warehouse racking, process equipment, and utilities. The combination of vertical height and the straight boom’s direct approach supports fast, predictable access.
• SkyJack Design Simplicity: SkyJack is recognized for straightforward hydraulics, accessible components, and intuitive controls. For owners, that typically means easier training, quicker diagnostics, and reduced downtime over the life of the machine.

Applications

• Commercial Construction: Curtain wall, glazing, EIFS, masonry, and exterior finishes where reliable reach and a stable platform are essential.
• Industrial Facilities: Access for equipment installation, overhead utilities, conveyors, process piping, and preventive maintenance in plants and distribution centers.
• Infrastructure and Utilities: Lighting, signage, bridges, and public works requiring elevated work with efficient repositioning and dependable power.
• Steel Erection and Fabrication: Placing members, bolting, welding support, and inspection—benefiting from the jib’s fine positioning and on-platform generator power.
• Energy and Communications: Work at height for solar arrays, wind balance-of-plant tasks, and telecom infrastructure where stability and platform space matter.
• Property Management and Maintenance: High-reach exterior repairs, painting, and facilities upkeep, aided by the spacious 8' platform and dependable 4WD mobility.

Ownership Value

Buying a used SkyJack SJ86T can deliver strong return on investment because you’re acquiring a proven straight boom lift with the key capabilities already built in, at a price point well below new. The Deutz turbo diesel, 4WD system, and foam filled rough terrain tires are practical choices for lower total cost of ownership: they support durability, minimize flat-related downtime, and perform well in the mixed conditions that drive up costs on many jobs.

SkyJack’s emphasis on serviceability is another long-term advantage. Straightforward systems help reduce troubleshooting time and support quick turnarounds for routine maintenance. Access to parts, widespread technician familiarity, and clear control layouts contribute to high utilization rates and predictable fleet performance.
