The Skyjack SJ85 AJ is a high-performance diesel articulating boom lift designed for tough outdoor applications, offering a maximum working height of 27.91 meters and a horizontal outreach of 17.07 meters. It features dual platform capacity (227/340 kg), intuitive EASYDRIVE™ controls that remain consistent regardless of turret position, and SKYRISER™ technology for vertical movement without drift. The lift also includes SPEEDYREACH™ for fast transitions and 360° continuous turret rotation for maximum flexibility. With 45% gradeability, rough-terrain tires, and the AXLDRIVE™ system, it performs reliably on uneven ground. The built-in Skyjack SGE safety system provides added protection by stopping operation if obstructions are detected, making the SJ85 AJ a dependable choice for elevated work in challenging environments.
Skyjack's EASYDRIVE™ means the boom lift controls are always in the orientation of the operator regardless of position of turret over chassis. This reduces operator confusion by eliminating the need for colour coded arrows to determine drive versus joystick direction.
The jib can be rotated precisely to where you need to work. The self levelling platform can also be rotated to meet your ideal work position.
The Skyjack SGE system features a sensor bar that when pushed instantly stops all functions and initiates an audible siren and high intensity flashing beacon. If the bar is released within one second the siren and beacon will cease and the selected function will return. If pressure is applied for more than one second the siren and beacon will continue to activate and the engine will stop, halting all functions until reset.
Skyjack articulating booms offer precise positioning capabilities packaged in a high capacity boom with industry-leading up-and-over reach. The tight turning radius on these machines and minimal tailswing make them ideal for maneuvering in confined areas.
Skyjack's SJ63/85 AJ features a boom geometry that allows the operator to lower the main fly boom to ground level to restock on material or supplies, then return to full height at the original working position - without lowering the riser section. It can be quickly executed and there is no need for machine repositioning or having to remember the sequence of operations to get back to the original working position - thus, improving productivity.
Ensures that the riser and main pivot point connecting the fly boom to the riser travel in a straight vertical line. Movement in a true vertical manner, without drifting forward or back, reduces the amount of repositioning the operator needs to do in order to stay close to a building facade, improving productivity.
