SKYJACK SJ20EVERTICAL MAST LIFTS
SIMPLY TRANSFORMED
Skyjacks Next Generation Vertical Mast Lifts provide a quiet and versatile package with zero emissions and other ECO benefits. Variable speed direct AC electric drive provides exceptional duty cycles, while their proportional drive and lift controls offer superior drive efficiency and consistent torque.
ECO
Rental companies and major contractors face increasing demands for sustainability information. Skyjack has introduced its ECO mark to support our customers by providing products that deliver benefits in environmental performance and long-term sustainability.
MORE THAN TELEMATICS
ELEVATE provides the actionable insights to make your business more efficient. Skyjack has worked with customers to identify and provide the most important data points that solve day-to-day pain points in rental service and management.
Beyond hours and location provided by basic telematics systems, ELEVATE delivers machine specific alerts and analysis which can dramatically reduce unnecessary service calls and trips to site for diagnostic work.
Information specific to Skyjack machines communicated through ELEVATE include:
Ready to operate
Overload detection and reporting
True machine utilization (time loaded at height)
Battery Management System (BMS)*
CAN data and alerts
Full data access
BATTERY MANAGEMENT
ELEVATE BMS* targets the largest cost of ownership on vertical masts by giving rental companies the ability to manage by measurement, and target the cost of battery replacement using accurate and immediate insight into how their batteries are treated in the field.
*Optional. Only available with ELEVATE telematics and not as a standalone option.
SECONDARY GUARDING LIFT ENABLE
Robust control box shroud provides additional guarding of controls reducing the risk of unintended actuation
Both joystick enable and secondary anti-tamper enable button must be activated to allow the platform to lift
Two-handed lift function helps keep the operators body away from the railings when rising, mitigating the risk of entrapment
ACCESSORYZERS
Skyjacks approved accessories are designed to add functionality to your machine and convenience for the operator.
ECOTRAY
Designed with essential machine functionality in mind, ECOTRAY ensures all internal potential hydraulic leaks go into a single pan thats fitted with easily changeable absorbent pads.
VERTICAL MAST LIFTS: SIMPLY TRANSFORMED
Skyjacks Next Generation Vertical Mast Lifts provide a quiet and versatile package with zero emissions. With a new mast design, AC electric drive, drivable at full height, and less hydraulic connection points, the SJ12 E, SJ16 E and SJ20 E boast increased duty cycle expectations.
Exceptional maneuverability and Skyjacks unique traversing platform make these Next Generation masts an ideal choice for a wide range of indoor and outdoor construction, maintenance, and industrial applications.
Rental companies and major contractors face increasing demands for sustainability information. Skyjack has introduced its ECO mark to support our customers by providing products that deliver benefits in environmental performance and long-term sustainability.
Skyjacks next generation of vertical masts ECO benefits include:
15% operational carbon saving compared to previous model
Up to 30% improvement in duty cycle
ZERO emissions
70 dB inherently quiet machine operation (excl. alarms)
White noise/broadband alarms - optional
90% recyclable (by weight)
70% less hydraulic connections reduces leak potential
ECOTRAY leak containment - optional
Bio-degradable hydraulic oil - optional
Telematics remote diagnostics reduces site visits (operational carbon foot print)
Battery Management system improves battery life
ELECTRIC DRIVE PERFORMANCE AND MANEUVERABILITY
Variable speed AC electric drive provides exceptional duty cycles. The fully proportional drive and lift controls, superior drive efficiency, improved controllability, and consistent torque.
90 front wheel steering provides zero turning radius and excellent performance and around job site maneuverability
25% gradeability and consistent torque
35% improvement in drive efficiency
Reduced charging and power consumption
Low GVW and wide non-marking tires provide low ground pressures and help protect finished flooring
Electrically-released brakes, lift/tie down points, makes loading and transportation safe and easy
Compact size and low weight allow passage through a standard doorway and carriage in a passenger elevator
Simple, maintenance-free, fixed pothole protection system has no moving parts but allows drive over typical site debris due to improved ground clearance
Forklift pockets located at the rear with tie down and lift points at rear of machine
NEW MAST DESIGN
The multi-stage hydraulic cylinder and inverted multi-section mast with overlaps to help increase rigidity. The larger section at the top of the design prevents debris ingress.
Like previous Skyjack vertical masts, the Next Generation models keep the telescopic mast at the rear which provides a totally unrestricted view from the front facing control box. This layout also moves the steering wheels away from the mast which offers excellent maneuverability with zero inside steering radius.
TRAVERSING PLATFORM
Robust all steel platform which incorporates a manually operated traversing deck feature which provides 16in of up-and-over capability. This can be released with a simple to use foot pedal, which and can be locked in various positions.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS
Skyjacks standard color-coded and numbered wiring system. Onboard diagnostics allows operators or service technicians to see real-time, easy-to-understand faults in plain, simple language readouts. No plug-in calibration is necessary for day-to-day troubleshooting, including load sensing information.
New CAN based integrated control system with smart charger provides increased data points (telematics ready)
SIMPLE ROBUST CONTROLS
Removable high strength and impact resistant composite control box thats clear, intuitive, and easy to understand.
Integrated shroud with full proportional joystick safety-enable trigger, thumb steer, selector switches, battery level gauge, horn, and emergency stop
6ft control cable for ease of walking through entrances or doorways and loading onto trucks
Interchangeable control box between models (SJ12 E/SJ16 E/SJ20 E)
COMMONALITY, MAINTENANCE AND ACCESSIBILITY
All components are located inside the base, the maintenance hatch provides easy, unrestricted access to all major components and batteries. Commonality of components and approach across the mast range which increases familiarity making it easy to service and maintain.
2 x 12V 220Ah deep cycle batteries with quick fill caps for easy top-up and maintenance
Universal smart battery charger (any voltage, any Hz) comes preloaded with battery algorithms and availability to extract charging data via Bluetooth
