Skyjack’s New Micro Scissor Line: Boosts Productivity & Sustainability in Low-Level Access

(Sponsored Content) -- Skyjack recently announced the launch of their new micro scissor line in the SJ3213 micro and SJ3219 micro. This new range represents a significant new choice in the low-level access arena. 

The micro scissor range remains simply reliable, combining low cost of ownership with Skyjack’s renowned product support. Fully proportional drive and lift controls offer superior drive with more efficiency, controllability and improved torque, while variable speed brushless AC electric front wheel drive provides exceptional duty cycles. With over 25% gradeability climbing loading ramps is easy and excellent all-round job site performance and maneuverability is achieved. 

The newest micros have been designed to fit most passenger style elevators and work in environments where space is at a premium while still providing a substantial work area with a 20” rollout extension. Available with 13-foot and 19-foot heights and 500-pound capacity, the micros fit through standard doors and offer low floor loading. 

Features unique to Skyjack’s micro line include;

  • Equal or lower gross vehicle weight and floor loads when compared to other micros,
  • Platform & extension deck design provides the largest platform area in micro class,
  • Digital diagnostic display in simple language with no plug in calibration for day-to-day troubleshooting,
  • Steel front wheel motor guards, prevents protection for parts exposed on other micros,
  • Modular design of optional XStep allows assembly in minutes, stowed during driving or moved between machines,
  • Simple two-piece optional ECOTRAY, capable of containing 100% of machine’s hydraulic oil volume with no large underbody pads to worry about.

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. Skyjack’s E-Drive scissors ECO benefits include:

  • 16% operational carbon saving compared to previous model
  • Up to 20% improvement in duty cycle over equivalent hydraulic drive machine
  • Zero emissions
  • 90% recyclable (by weight)
  • Optional ECOtray leak containment
  • Approved for use with bio-degradable hydraulic oil
  • Telematics allowing for remote diagnostics reduces site visits and operational footprint

In addition to the benefits listed in the ECO table, Skyjack’s focus on improving productivity and reducing lifetime maintenance expenditure improves cost of ownership and gives users more in several key ways;

  • More return on investment with maintenance free brushless AC Electric Drive motors
  • More runtime per charge with less power consumption and lower battery maintenance,
  • More sustainability with zero leakage drive motors, for clean operation
  • More flexibility and utilization with low GVW and wide non-marking tires providing low ground pressures and help protect finished flooring
  • More control with spring applied, electrically released brake 
  • Tight steering angle provides excellent job site maneuverability
  • Fully proportional drive and lift controls
  • Minimal maintenance on wheel motors

The micro line has also been updated with their own XStep. Designed specifically for the SJ3213 micro and the SJ3219 micro, the micro XStep enables operators to gain additional work height in tight spaces while maximizing productivity. Like the original XStep, the micro XStep was introduced to empower operators working in hard-to-reach places such as piping, ceiling work and between HVAC units. The micro version is mounted on the mid-rail of the scissor lift and creates an additional 19 inches of working height. The top railing design and height provide operators with the same degree of security as a conventional platform with a 250-pound capacity.

Targeted at the North American market, the SJ3213 micro and the SJ3219 micro will replace the previous SJ3013 model in North America. The SJ3014 will remain available in Europe.
