SUPERIOR POSITIVE TRACTION AND TERRAINABILITY IS PROVIDED BY THE AXLE BASED FOUR WHEEL DRIVE
Skyjack’s Articulating Boom Lifts are designed for versatility. Superior positive traction and terrainability is provided by the axle based four wheel drive used in many of Skyjack’s product designs, which accounts for a proven low maintenance, rugged and reliable drive train.
Common to Skyjack’s Articulating Boom Lifts. When the operator uses the boom’s riser control function the boom arm will move in a true vertical manner without drifting forward or back. This reduces the amount of repositioning the operator needs to do in order to stay close to a building façade.
A combination of the SJ63 AJ’s riser geometry and boom length allows the operator to position the platform at full height, and then bring the platform to the ground by only using the boom lower function. Time spent restocking material or supplies is greatly reduced. This feature adds to the units versatility by maximizing job site productivity.
A key difference between telescopic booms and articulating booms is the up and over clearance provided by the riser section on the articulating booms. This feature allows access to areas on a jobsite that may not be accessible by any other means. Skyjack articulating booms are designed to not only optimize platform height and horizontal reach, but also up and over clearance.
