Advantages of the SkyJack SJ86T Straight Boom Lift

• Deutz Turbo Diesel: The Deutz turbo diesel engine is valued for dependable cold starts, strong torque, and fuel efficiency. On long duty cycles, the Deutz powerplant helps reduce operating cost while delivering the steady power needed for boom functions, drive, and generator operation.
• 4WD Traction: True four-wheel drive ensures confident travel over gravel, packed dirt, and uneven slabs. When access routes are less than perfect, 4WD helps minimize time lost maneuvering and keeps the machine productive across the site.
• Rough Terrain Tires: Purpose-built rough terrain tires add grip, ground clearance, and stability. They help absorb irregularities underfoot and contribute to a smoother ride, which is especially important when approaching work areas at height.
• 8' Platform: The 8-foot platform gives crews room to move and stage tools. More deck space reduces trips up and down for materials and allows two workers to operate without crowding, improving safety and efficiency on complex tasks.
• Jib for Precision: The jib at the boom tip provides additional articulation for precise positioning into tight spaces. When you need to reach around piping, façade elements, or structural steel, the jib’s fine control helps you line up the platform exactly where the work is.
• Onboard Generator: Having a generator onboard means ready access to power in the air for corded tools, lighting, and chargers. This reduces the need for extension cords and ground-based power distribution, improving productivity and site organization.
• 86' Platform Height and 92' Working Height: With an 86-foot platform height and 92-foot working height, the SJ86T reaches the majority of mid-rise and industrial access points. This reduces boom relocations and allows more tasks to be completed from a single setup.
• SkyJack Reliability: SkyJack designs for serviceability and straightforward controls. Simplified hydraulics, common components, and excellent parts availability support lower downtime and easier maintenance across the machine’s life.

Practical Applications

• Structural Steel and Erection Work: Reach high connection points and perimeter beams with stable, confident positioning, using the jib to tuck into challenging geometry.
• Building Envelope and Cladding: Ideal for curtain wall, panel installation, EIFS, and glazing where consistent platform positioning and deck space for material handling are critical.
• Industrial Facilities and Plants: Access elevated conveyors, pipe racks, racks, and mezzanines for maintenance, inspection, and repair with minimal disruption to operations.
• Petrochemical and Energy: Tackle stacks, pipe bridges, and process units where long outreach and accurate platform placement increase job efficiency and safety.
• Stadiums and Arenas: Handle lighting, signage, and structural maintenance where high access and careful maneuvering are required.
• Utility and Infrastructure: Bridge work, substation access, and overhead installations benefit from the SJ86T’s combination of height, stability, and rugged mobility.
• Shipyards and Ports: Perform hull, superstructure, and crane maintenance where reliability and reach reduce time alongside and increase throughput.
