SKYJACK INTRODUCES NEW ECO VERTICAL MAST

Skyjack is proud to unveil its all new SJ12 E and SJ16 E vertical mast lifts to the Australian market.

The SJ12 E and SJ16 E have working heights of 5.66m and 6.72m, respectively.

IN RESPONSE TO A STRONG DEMAND FOR

vertical mast lifts, Skyjack developed the SJ12 E and SJ16 E based off its award-winning SJ20 E. While vertical masts and spiders are both used indoors, the compact size and low weight of the vertical mast sets it apart from the spiders. Its compact size allows it to be used in several other applications where a spider would just not fi t, making it a more versatile machine.

The new SJ12 E and SJ16 E are zero-emission machines with an improved duty cycle of up to 30 per cent, which means less charging, less power consumption, and a lower carbon footprint. The SJ12 E and SJ16 E have working heights of 5.66m and 6.72m, respectively. Both units feature the new green ECO label accompanied by an ECO Matrix that details additional sustainability benefi ts over previous models.

The ‘E’ in the product names signifi es electric drive by means of a dual direct drive AC electric motors and gearbox combination, which provides up to 30 per cent improvement in duty cycles. Both units also feature up to 70 per cent less hydraulic connections.

“As governments around the world are increasingly promoting a more sustainable agenda, it’s increasingly down to rental companies and contractors to meet emission regulations. Our new models are examples of how we’ve been able to bridge practicality with sustainable effi ciency by decreasing the overall carbon footprint for our customers,” said Ken McDougall, president at Skyjack.

“Together with the addition of the optional Skyjack ECOTRAY and biodegradable oil, these new models offer a high ROI while reducing the overall environmental impact,” said Rafael Bazzarella, product manager at Skyjack.

“Both units also incorporate a multistage hydraulic lift cylinder, which eliminates chains, cables sheaves and rollers, reducing maintenance needs.”

The top of the mast on the SJ12 E and SJ16 E is now in line with the platform rails, which is benefi cial for overhead work, especially where there are drop ceilings. Included in the new products is a dual ‘load cell’ overload system designed with both indoor and outdoor use in mind. The SJ12 E comes with a standard wind rating, and the SJ16 E features an optional wind rating for one person.

Other notable features include: • 90-degree steering with a zero inside turning radius • A simple, maintenance free, and fi xed pothole protection system. • Forklift pockets located at the rear of the base with tie down and lift points at each corner. • Onboard CAN enabled control unit and multi-voltage “smart” charger; and • Onboard diagnostics display with simple and plain language readouts.

Skyjack will continue to optimise its electric scissor lifts through 2022 in response to new customer demands. New products will also continue to carry Skyjack’s recently introduced ECO label that details sustainability information in areas like operational carbon savings, duty cycle, and reduction of hydraulic connections. Skyjack’s ECO mark supports customers by providing products that deliver benefi ts in environmental performance and long-term sustainability, which increases overall return on investment.
