Skyjack launches its highest working height slab scissor

Linamar Corporation’s Skyjack division launches its new SJ5545 E electric drive scissor lift, representing the highest working height scissor in Skyjack’s range of slab scissors.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the new SJ5545 E includes innovative design features and high platform capacities. These machines provide a clean, quiet, sustainable rental solution with zero emissions, lower operating costs, and increased utilization, states Skyjack.

With a working height of 51 ft and a load capacity of 770 lbs, this E-Drive model has responsive control and maneuverability, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of construction, maintenance, and industrial applications. The intelligent adaptive variable speed brushless drive system provides extraordinary duty cycles, smooth automatic transition from high to low speed on a grade, including 25 per cent gradeability. Fully proportional drive and lift controls offer efficiency, controllability, and improved torque and traction, according to Skyjack. The scissor stack design of the SJ5545 E features fully welded cross-bracing that increases rigidity and improves operator comfort at height. The SJ5545 E is drivable at full height and offers a 2-person wind rating at 22 ft for optimal performance and utilization.

According to Skyjack, the maximized width of the all-steel, anti-slip platform provides the largest working areas in its class, while minimizing space between platform and workface. The platform incorporates multiple lanyard attachment points and a manually operated 3’ (0.90 m) roll-out extension deck for an optimized work area and up-and-over capability. The modular rail system easily folds down to reduce stowed height for transportation.
