Advantages that Matter on the Job

• Diesel: The diesel powerplant provides durable torque for driving, lifting, and handling the duty cycles typical on construction and industrial sites. Diesel engines are valued for fuel efficiency and long service intervals, supporting lower operating costs over time. In demanding environments where machines run for extended shifts and need consistent performance, diesel helps keep productivity high and downtime low.
• 4WD: Four-wheel drive enhances traction and control on loose, uneven, or muddy ground. When approaching a work area on a cut-and-fill site, rolling across gravel, or navigating slopes to set up, 4WD helps maintain forward progress and stability. This capability translates into fewer delays and less site prep, allowing crews to reach work areas with confidence and stay on schedule.
• Rough Terrain Tires: Rough terrain tires are designed for jobsite abuse—ruts, debris, and irregular grades. Their tread and sidewall construction provide better bite and shock absorption on rough surfaces than standard industrial tires. The result is a smoother ride, better ground contact, and improved operator comfort, which supports safer maneuvering and steadier platform positioning.
• Jib: The jib adds a critical degree of articulation that lets operators fine-tune their reach and platform placement without constant repositioning of the entire boom. This is especially valuable when working up and over obstacles, aligning to work at angles, or accessing hard-to-reach exterior facades and structural elements. The jib speeds up task setup and reduces time lost to repositioning the base machine.
• 46' Platform Height: With a 46-foot platform height, the SJ46AJ can bring operators to elevated work surfaces across a wide range of mid-rise tasks. This height enables reach to second- and third-story work, processing equipment, conveyors, roof edges, lighting, and signage without stepping up to a larger (and often less nimble) class of machine.
• 51' Working Height: A 51-foot working height provides the final reach you need for tool clearance and task execution, accounting for average operator height. That extra margin is often the difference between finishing a job from one setup versus having to reposition, improving both productivity and safety throughout the workday.

Applications

The SkyJack SJ46AJ articulating boom lift is a versatile choice for contractors, facility teams, and service providers who need dependable vertical and up-and-over access. Its articulating geometry and 4WD drivetrain make it equally at home on construction sites and established facilities. Typical applications include:

• Commercial construction: Exterior cladding, window installation, caulking, glazing support, EIFS and siding work.
• Steel erection and industrial assembly: Access to columns, bracing, conveyors, racks, and overhead equipment.
• Facilities maintenance: Lighting, HVAC service, ducting, roof edge maintenance, signage, and building envelope repairs.
• Infrastructure and utilities: Bridge work, station maintenance, utility yard tasks, substation access, and canopy repairs.
• Energy and manufacturing: Plant turnarounds, equipment changeouts, mezzanine access, and process line modifications.
• Property management: Stadiums, arenas, distribution centers, and warehouse exterior upkeep where articulation is needed around obstacles.

Ownership Value

Investing in a used articulating boom lift should be about more than the initial price—it’s about lifetime value and reliable service. SkyJack machines are widely respected for their simple, serviceable designs and parts availability. That translates into shorter maintenance windows and more time on the job. The 2016 model year gives you modern control systems and operator familiarity, while the 1,625-hour meter reading provides useful insight into prior utilization. With diesel efficiency, 4WD, and rough terrain tires, you get capability that holds value in the secondary market and serves a broad scope of projects today.

For owners running mixed fleets, the SJ46AJ also integrates well with existing maintenance practices thanks to SkyJack’s emphasis on straightforward hydraulics and accessible components. From a cost-of-ownership standpoint, these traits help reduce labor time during inspections and routine service. When you add NLEQ’s commitment to accurate, honest condition reporting, the result is a purchase decision you can justify on both performance and financial grounds.
