Advantages

What stands out about this SkyJack SJ66T Straight Boom Lift is how each core feature supports real-world productivity and ownership value:

• Deutz diesel power: The diesel engine from Deutz is widely respected for durability, fuel efficiency, and easy field service. For owners, that means dependable cold starts, consistent hydraulic performance, and excellent parts support through a global network. For renters and operators, it translates to long intervals between service and predictable operating costs.
• 4WD traction: Four-wheel drive helps the lift travel and position on unpaved sites, graded lots, and mixed conditions. When you need to approach a work face across uneven ground or damp soil, 4WD delivers the drawbar pull and stability to keep you moving with confidence, reducing lost time and recovery assistance.
• Foam-filled tires: Foam filling dramatically cuts the risk of flats and sidewall damage while adding stability. That’s a significant advantage on construction sites where debris, rebar, and sharp aggregate can quickly end a day’s productivity with a puncture. Foam-filled tires also help the machine feel more planted at height, supporting operator comfort.
• 8' platform: The wide 8-foot basket gives crews room to stage materials, tools, and two or more workers without feeling crowded. That extra working space improves workflow for tasks like installing panels, setting steel, running conduit, or performing façade repairs—jobs where reaching, positioning, and having parts within arm’s length save time and steps.
• Straight boom simplicity: The telescopic, straight-boom design excels in fast point-to-point elevation and long, linear outreach. Fewer articulation points mean fewer pivot wear points, straightforward operation, and typically easier maintenance compared to more complex designs, especially valuable for owners managing fleet uptime.
• SkyJack reliability: SkyJack lifts are known for robust build quality and simplified electrical and hydraulic systems. That reputation matters at resale and during ownership—reduced troubleshooting, ready parts availability, and widespread technician familiarity help keep operating costs predictable.

Applications

This SkyJack SJ66T Straight Boom Lift fits a wide range of elevated work where reach, stability, and platform space are non-negotiable:

• General construction: Structural framing, sheathing, window and cladding installation, canopy work, and high-bay interiors.
• Industrial plants: MRO tasks, process line access, overhead piping, and facility retrofit projects.
• Commercial roofing and envelope: Parapet work, air handling access, signage, curtainwall install, and leak remediation.
• Steel erection and fab yards: Setting purlins and secondary steel, bolting and welding access, staging materials on a spacious platform.
• Energy and utilities: Substation work, lighting and pole maintenance, access along pipelines and utility corridors.
• Infrastructure: Bridge inspection prep, sound wall installation, rail and transit facility maintenance.
• Property management: Stadiums, distribution centers, aircraft hangars, tall retail façades, and large venues.

Ownership Value

Buying a late-model SkyJack SJ66T with verified hours and a clear inspection pipeline is a smart way to secure high capability without the premium of new. Here is why the value equation is compelling for owners and rental fleets:

• Lower cost per hour: The acquisition cost of this 2017 unit compared to new helps drive down your cost-per-hour from day one, without sacrificing the core performance the SJ66T is known for.
• Uptime-centric design: SkyJack’s practical engineering—clean hose routing, accessible components, and simplified control systems—translates to quicker service and more time on rent or on the job.
• Deutz support network: Deutz engines enjoy strong parts availability and service knowledge across North America, reducing downtime risk and helping maintain consistent performance across seasons.
• Flat-proofing and stability: Foam-filled tires reduce nuisance downtime from punctures and help the machine track confidently on demanding surfaces, supporting both safety and productivity.
• Work-ready platform: The 8' platform supports efficient, multi-person workflows, letting teams bring up tools, fasteners, and materials once instead of shuttling items repeatedly.
• Resale confidence: SkyJack straight booms remain desirable in the secondary market, helping protect residual value when it’s time to rotate assets.
