Key Advantages and What They Mean on Your Jobsite

• Articulating Boom Design: The SJ63AJ’s articulating geometry provides true up‑and‑over access, enabling operators to reach around obstacles like parapets, piping, conduit, and structural members. This is ideal for work in congested areas and along building facades or inside plants.
• 63' Platform Height / 69' Working Height: With a 63' platform height and 69' working height, crews can tackle multi‑story exterior work, tall interior bays, and elevated maintenance without step‑relocating equipment. Fewer reposition cycles translate into more productivity each shift.
• Jib for Precision: The jib adds a crucial degree of freedom for fine‑tuning position at height. It reduces the need to reposition the entire boom for minor adjustments, saving time and improving accuracy when installing, aligning, or finishing.
• 8' Platform: An 8‑foot platform provides generous space for two workers, tools, and materials. The extra width supports productivity for tasks like panel installation, ducting, conduit runs, glazing, and signage, where room to stage materials improves efficiency.
• Diesel Power: Diesel delivers dependable torque for rough terrain maneuvering and smooth hydraulic function. On long duty cycles or remote sites, diesel fueling is straightforward and widely available, keeping the boom lift productive day after day.
• 4WD Traction: Four‑wheel drive delivers better grip and control over uneven, soft, or sloped ground. 4WD helps reduce the risk of getting stuck and keeps the project moving even when site conditions are less than ideal.
• Rough Terrain Tires: Designed to bite into loose or uneven surfaces, rough terrain tires enhance stability and confidence when transitioning across gravel, packed dirt, or jobsite debris. They complement 4WD to further expand where you can safely operate.
• SkyJack Reliability: SkyJack designs its lifts with straightforward, serviceable systems supported by a strong parts network. That simplicity helps reduce downtime and keeps maintenance practical for owners and rental fleets alike.
• 2017 Model Year: A 2017 machine hits a sweet spot for many buyers: modern controls and safety systems paired with proven field performance, helping you balance acquisition cost with productive life ahead.
• 1,940 Hours: The hours reflect meaningful work history and provide context for expected service planning. Knowing the hour count helps you budget for routine maintenance while leveraging remaining useful life.

Applications and Industries

The SkyJack SJ63AJ articulating boom lift is built for demanding access tasks where reach, maneuverability, and stability are non‑negotiable.

• General Construction: Framing, exterior cladding, EIFS, soffits, and architectural finishes on multi‑story builds.
• Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing: HVAC unit placement, duct and pipe runs, conduit installation, lighting, and cable tray work at elevation.

• Steel Erection and Fabrication: Work positioning around structural members, connections, and maintenance of elevated steel structures.
• Energy and Utilities: Substation work, plant shutdowns, flare stack and ductwork access, and general facility upkeep.
• Property Management: Stadiums, campuses, and large commercial properties requiring regular repair, painting, signage, and lighting maintenance.
• Ports, Rail, and Transportation: Access for inspection and maintenance of canopies, gantries, and terminal infrastructure.

Ownership Value and Operating Considerations

Buying a used SkyJack SJ63AJ articulating boom lift offers a strong value proposition for contractors and fleet managers. Diesel efficiency and simple, service‑friendly design help control operating costs. 4WD and rough terrain tires minimize stuck time and repositioning delays that can derail productivity on uneven jobsites. The 63' platform height and 69' working height reduce the number of machines needed to cover scope on taller structures, while the 8' platform lets crews bring more tools and materials aloft, cutting trips and downtime. SkyJack’s reputation for straightforward systems supports fast diagnostics and reliable parts availability, both of which help keep total cost of ownership in check. With 1,940 hours on a 2017 machine, you can plan maintenance with clarity while benefiting from a favorable acquisition cost compared to new. For owners who track equipment utilization closely, a model like the SJ63AJ tends to see consistent demand across trades, improving rental potential for fleet owners and utilization for contractors who self‑perform.

The 8' platform enhances productivity for two‑person crews and material staging. With a 2017 model year and 1,940 hours, it aligns well with buyers aiming for a balanced cost‑to‑capability ratio.
