Advantages of this SkyJack SJ4740 Configuration

• Electric power: Clean, quiet operation suitable for indoor and sensitive environments. An electric slab scissor lift reduces exhaust-related restrictions and keeps crews productive in warehouses, manufacturing plants, healthcare facilities, schools, and commercial interiors.
• 2WD drive system: A practical, cost-effective configuration for the surfaces where slab scissors excel—smooth concrete, finished floors, and paved areas. 2WD delivers tight maneuverability and efficient battery use while keeping maintenance straightforward.
• 40' platform height: Capable vertical reach for overhead tasks such as MEP installation, lighting, ceiling work, racking, signage, and facility maintenance. A 40-foot platform height helps teams complete more work from a single setup and reduces time lost to re-positioning.
• Low hours (379): Lower-hour machines are typically associated with less overall wear, which can translate into less downtime and a longer useful service life for the next owner—an important factor when you are budgeting for productivity.
• Well-known brand: SkyJack is a respected name in scissor lifts, valued by operators and fleet managers for simplicity and practical engineering. That can pay off in user familiarity, easier onboarding, and strong long-term ownership value.

How These Features Perform in the Real World

The combination of electric power and 2WD makes the SkyJack SJ4740 a dependable daily performer for interior work where emission-free and low-noise operation are essential. Electric drives are smooth and predictable, which helps operators position precisely at height and work with confidence around sensitive equipment and occupied spaces. On flat slabs, the 2WD configuration supports agile maneuvering in aisles and tight corridors, enabling efficient access without unnecessary complexity. The 40' platform height gives you the reach to handle high-bay facilities, modern retail build-outs, and commercial renovations without stepping up to larger, heavier platforms that may be harder to maneuver indoors. The result is a lift that checks the boxes for most interior build, install, and maintenance scopes while keeping operating costs contained.

Applications

• Commercial interiors: Framing, drywall, ceilings, lighting, sprinkler installs, and mechanical systems at elevation.
• Facility maintenance: Preventive maintenance, repairs, signage updates, repainting, and plant upgrades in distribution centers and manufacturing environments.
• Warehousing and logistics: Racking, conveyor work, sensors, HVAC drop installs, and safety system placement at height.
• Retail build-outs: Storefront changes, shelving, lighting grids, and décor in malls and big-box spaces where quiet, clean operation is required.
• Institutional environments: Schools, hospitals, labs, and public buildings with strict air and noise requirements benefit from electric scissor lifts for after-hours or even in-operation work.
• Event and entertainment venues: Rigging, lighting, and AV installation where precise vertical access and low noise are essential.

Ownership Value

Choosing an electric slab scissor lift like the SkyJack SJ4740 is a strategic move for long-term cost control. Electric power eliminates fuel costs and reduces the routine maintenance associated with internal combustion, helping you lower total cost of ownership and simplify fleet management. The 2WD layout minimizes complexity and is well-matched to finished floors, limiting unnecessary tire wear and power draw. With only 379 hours on the meter, this 2017 unit offers substantial remaining service potential. For owners balancing utilization across multiple sites, this model fits comfortably on common jobsite logistics plans, making dispatching and redeployment simpler. The combination of trusted brand, practical height, and low-hour usage creates a strong resale profile when it is time to rotate inventory.
