Key Advantages

• Articulating Geometry: The SJ46AJ’s boom configuration is built to approach hard-to-reach work areas. Articulation lets you go up and over obstacles, reducing time lost to repositioning or re-staging.
• Jib for Precision: The jib gives operators fine control to place the platform exactly where it’s needed for fastening, cutting, welding, routing conduits, setting anchors, installing façade elements, or performing detailed maintenance.
• Diesel Power: Diesel is the preferred solution for outdoor and mixed-terrain work. It offers strong torque for gradeability and steady power delivery throughout the shift, with fueling logistics that fit most construction workflows.
• 4WD Traction: Four-wheel drive helps you move confidently across crushed stone, packed dirt, and mild uneven terrain commonly found on active job sites. Better traction improves productivity and reduces the chance of getting bogged down.
• 2017 Model Year: A modern build year supports dependable performance and parts availability, while avoiding the premium cost associated with later-year units.
• Manageable Hours: With 1,545 hours, this lift sits in a favorable range for buyers seeking a balance of value, service life, and uptime potential.
• Trusted Brand: SkyJack equipment is known across the industry for straightforward operation and field-ready durability, which supports operator adoption and keeps crews productive.
• Value Pricing: At $29,950, this SJ46AJ offers strong capability per dollar, helping contractors expand fleet capacity without the capital expense of a new machine.

Applications

• General Construction: Framing, cladding, roofing access, and façade work where up-and-over reach shortens the distance to the task.
• Steel and Precast: Bolt-up and fit-up operations that benefit from precise platform positioning using the jib.
• Electrical and Low Voltage: Running conduit, setting fixtures, and performing overhead terminations in warehouses, plants, and distribution centers.
• Mechanical/HVAC: Duct, pipe, and unit installation at elevation, with articulation to work above existing equipment.
• Industrial Maintenance: Access for inspection, repairs, painting, and facility upgrades in manufacturing, processing, and utilities.
• Signage and Lighting: Installing and maintaining poles, signs, and lighting standards where articulation speeds alignment.
• Exterior Envelope: Window, panel, and curtain wall tasks requiring precise control and stable positioning at height.
• Infrastructure and Municipal: Bridge, streetlight, and public works projects that demand reliable diesel power and 4WD mobility.

What the Features Mean on the Job

• Diesel: Expect consistent power delivery for lifting and driving, especially useful on longer or more demanding days. Diesel fuel is widely available and aligns with typical contractor fueling processes, minimizing downtime.
• 4WD: Four driven wheels improve forward progress on variable surfaces. When you hit soft patches or uneven spots, 4WD helps maintain traction so operators can stay focused on the task instead of the terrain.
• Jib: The jib’s additional articulation makes final placement faster. Rather than repositioning the chassis or reconfiguring the boom angle, operators can make fine adjustments to reach target work points with less effort and time.
• Articulating Boom Lift Platforming: The core advantage of an articulating design is obstacle navigation. Whether you need to reach over a parapet, under structural steel, or around piping, articulation and the jib together provide efficient access and better ergonomics at the work face.

Ownership Value

Buying a 2017 SkyJack SJ46AJ with 1,545 hours offers a smart balance of upfront cost, capability, and service life.
