Advantages and Practical Benefits

• Deutz Diesel Power: The Deutz diesel powering this SJ63AJ is prized for reliability and straightforward service. In practice, that means confident cold starts, consistent torque for hydraulic functions, and the durability you want for multi-shift or long-duration projects. Diesel efficiency also helps control operating costs over the life of the machine.
• 4WD Traction: Four-wheel drive gives the SJ63AJ the sure-footedness to navigate uneven surfaces often found on active jobsites. From compacted dirt to gravel and partially finished grounds, 4WD helps you approach work areas without bogging down, reducing setup time and improving productivity.
• Articulating Boom with Jib: The articulating design, complemented by a jib, is built for accessing up-and-over or behind-obstacle positions. The jib adds a final degree of articulation for precision—ideal when you must align tools or materials exactly at the workface, such as around steel, piping, ductwork, or facade details.
• 63' Platform Height and 69' Working Height: This reach envelope enables crews to tackle a wide range of elevation tasks. The 63' platform height provides direct access, while the 69' working height gives operators additional vertical capability to use tools overhead with ergonomics and safety in mind.
• 8' Platform (Basket): An 8' platform improves productivity by giving your crew more room to work and organize materials. The added width is especially useful for two-person tasks, staging longer components, or managing toolboxes, fasteners, and installation hardware without constant trips up and down.
• SkyJack Simplicity: SkyJack machines are known for operator-friendly controls and straightforward service access. In day-to-day use, that means easier onboarding for operators and less time spent on maintenance logistics.

Together, these advantages help crews execute work faster and more safely. The right combination of diesel power, 4WD mobility, a jib for precise positioning, and generous platform size means less repositioning, fewer delays, and better throughput on the job.

Applications

The SkyJack SJ63AJ Articulating Boom Lift is built for jobs that require both height and maneuverability. Typical applications include:

• Commercial construction: Framing, exterior cladding, glazing preparation, and envelope work requiring up-and-over reach.
• Mechanical and electrical trades: HVAC unit placement, ducting, conduit runs, and lighting at elevation where positioning is critical.
• Industrial maintenance: Accessing pipes, catwalks, tanks, and overhead equipment with a need to reach around structures.
• Infrastructure and utilities: Bridge, station, and substation tasks where articulation and working height streamline access.
• Signage and façade work: Installing and servicing signs, awnings, and architectural features with space for materials in the 8' platform.
• Facility management: Warehouses, plants, and distribution centers that need dependable high-reach capability for inspections, repairs, and retrofits.

In each of these environments, the SJ63AJ’s articulating geometry and jib let crews approach work efficiently without excessive machine repositioning. The 4WD system expands the usable window for outdoor tasks, while the Deutz diesel provides the power and runtime needed to stay productive all day.

Ownership Value
