ROUGH-TERRAIN SCISSOR LIFTS

Deliver Control And Reliability While Driving On Slopes

1Skyjack has moved toward offering increased platform heights on its scissors to meet the growing trend toward taller buildings and more work being done at increased heights. Skyjack’s full-size rough-terrain scissor range makes work at six stories with 11.5-foot floorto-floor possible with a work height of 70 feet and an overall capacity of 1,130 pounds. The SJ9664 RT features an axle-based four-wheel drive, has commonality with parts throughout the Skyjack range, and attention has been given to accessibility for service. Solid rubber tires provide a damage-resistant alternative for enhanced protection, while auto-levelling outriggers allow for use in rough conditions.

2JLG says its large rough-terrain scissor lift series offers refined platform control joystick operation for smoother and more precise machine repositioning. In addition, control system upgrades provide feedback to improve drive control proportionality. Left and right steer functions now receive renewed digital inputs to ensure a higher level of functionality and improved response. Levelling jack performance has been improved to deliver more accuracy and quicker levelling speeds. Features include a 60-degree swing-out engine tray for enhanced access and fold-down ladder and swing-out tray for easier access to the engine and hydraulics. Operation and control layouts are the same across the line for ease of training and operation.

3 rough-terrain scissor lift with maximum platform height of 43 feet (15.11 m) features four-wheel drive and positive traction control – giving it up to 50 percent gradeability when driving on slopes. Optional oscillating axles automatically sense the terrain and adjust the axle position based on ground conditions to maintain stability. For added workspace, a multi-position slide-out extension deck on the front of the platform is standard on all Genie RT models. A rear slide-out extension deck can be added to the GS-4390 for an extra 9 feet (2.74 m). Power to the platform allows workers to use electrically powered tools.

4 S6926RTE, S6933RTE, S6940RTE, and S6947RTE rough-terrain scissors offer working heights ranging from 32 to 53 feet. They feature Snorkel’s lithium-ion battery technology for zero-emission operation that reduces noise levels by up to 60 percent, and an optional on-board generator provides on-the-job battery charging. Platform capacities range from 800 to 1,500 pounds. Two-wheel drive is standard with four-wheel drive available as an option. These scissors also feature roll-out deck extensions, proportional controls, a platform overload system, and non-marking foam-filled tires.
