Section 9 – Unique Skyjack Features
Your Skyjack MEWP may be equipped with the
following unique features:
Having equipment with features and functionality
that allow you and your customers to do more is a
vital part of the utilization equation. Skyjack offers a
range of accessory products to further expand a given
product’s adaptability and your power to offer a truly
flexible rental choice.
Skyjack’s mechanical “axle based” drive system
gives positive traction and excellent rough ground
“terrain-ability’. This is achieved using an automatic
or manual (model dependent) locking differential on
the rear axle and limited slip differential on the front
axle. This means machines can climb grades of up to
30% in the case of Rough Terrain Scissors Lifts, and
50% in the case of Boom Lifts. This industry leading
terrain capability means one can use the Skyjack
Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts and Boom Lifts in the most
challenging of conditions.
A unique boom feature only utilized by Skyjack - the
Boom Lift drive function operates in accordance with
the general orientation of the turret’s counterweight
over the chassis (i.e. joystick forward = counterweight
facing forward). This provides intuitive operation by
allowing the unit to move in the general direction of
the joystick’s movement.
At the heart of every Skyjack machine, proven and
simplistic control systems using Skyjack’s colour
coded and numbered wiring system make our
machines the easiest to troubleshoot and repair. –
Black #14 is for the lift function on a 3219, and it
is also the lift function on a 63AJ. Using an analog
based control system allows the
Skyjack AWPs to
operate using a simplified system with fewer and less
expensive components – less maintenance and lower
costs.
A unique feature found on Skyjack’s articulating
boom lift. It 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 façade.
Skyjack’s Articulated Boom Lifts feature 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. This functionality adds to the versatility and
productivity of Skyjack’s Articulating Boom Lifts,
especially as 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.
