Skyjack Announces New Articulating Booms, Scissor Lifts, and Accessoryzers at Conexpo

Skyjack exhibited its all-new articulating booms, scissor lifts, and Accessoryzers at Conexpo 2026 in Las Vegas. Visitors connected with the Skyjack team and got first-hand experience with Skyjack’s new products that are designed to maximize machine utilization, return on investment, and environmental performance.

“Skyjack’s quality engineered new scissor lifts and articulating booms are an ideal choice for a wide range of indoor and outdoor construction, maintenance, and industrial applications and are designed to meet true jobsite performance expectations,” said Charlie Patterson, Skyjack’s president. “The Skyjack Team really enjoyed connecting with customers and partners at Conexpo and showcasing our exciting new equipment.”

New Skyjack machines highlighted at Conexpo:

• Skyjack announced the launch of the new SJ45 AJN and SJ45 ARJN battery-powered electric slab booms. Featuring a working height starting at 50 feet 11 inches (15.52 m), Skyjack’s compact, zero emission, low noise SJ45 AJN and SJ45 ARJN have been designed to offer superior performance across indoor and outdoor jobsites. With a platform capacity of 500 pounds (227 kg), a 4 foot 8 inch (1.4 m) jib as standard, and a narrow width of 4 feet 11 inches (1.5 m), the SJ45 AJN provides class-leading up-and-over access capability of 25 feet 7 inches (7.8 m). This new slab boom offers outstanding onsite maneuverability and precision to work in confined spaces. The SJ45 ARJN represents one of the few machines in this class to offer a rotating jib, which provides 180° horizontal movement (ANSI) or 132° horizontal movement (CE) to allow precise positioning of the platform and increased productivity. These narrow machines are capable of access through double standard doors, offer a low stowed-height of 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m), and have a weight of less than 16,000 pounds (7,258 kg) that increases ease of transport.

The recently launched SJ3232 E electric drive scissor lift represents the newest model in Skyjack’s range of slab scissors. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the narrow width and machine length of only 91.5 inches (2.32 m) make the SJ3232 E ideal when both height and compact performance are needed. No stabilizers also mean the SJ3232 E is drivable at full height (working height is 11.46 m or 37 feet 7 inches). These machines provide a clean, quiet, sustainable rental solution with zero emissions, low operating costs, and increased utilization.

• The all-new SJ6940 RT rough terrain scissor lift has a working height of 46 feet (14.02 m) and a platform capacity of 800 pounds (362.874 kg), setting a new benchmark as the tallest machine in Skyjack’s compact RT scissor class. Engineered with productivity and jobsite versatility in mind, the SJ6940 RT delivers the longest working area in the class with a platform that is 14 feet 10 inches (4.52 m) in length with the roll-out deck extended. An oscillating front steer axle tackles tough jobsite terrain and auto-leveling outriggers (optional on ANSI/CSA models, standard on CE/AS models) maximize usability.
  
  
• The new SJ5545 E electric drive scissor lift represents the highest working height scissor in Skyjack’s range of slab scissors and includes innovative design features, high platform capacities, and a clean, quiet, sustainable rental solution. With a working height of 51 feet (15.55 m) and a load capacity of 770 pounds (349.2 kg), this E-Drive model boasts exceptionally responsive control and maneuverability. The scissor stack design of the SJ5545 E features fully welded cross-bracing that increases rigidity and improves operator comfort at height. This scissor is drivable at full height, offers a 2-person wind-rating at 22 feet (6.7 m), provides the largest working areas in its class with a robust, all-steel, anti-slip platform.
  
  
• The SJ45 AJE+ and SJ60 AJHE+ represented Skyjack’s new hybrid-electric and battery-electric rough terrain articulating boom range that is now available in the North American market. Skyjack has designed these versatile new machines to navigate various rough terrain conditions and deliver performance in emission-restricted sensitive indoor worksites. These new booms have been developed without compromising performance or features found in diesel machines. The range has common specifications, parts, capacities, reach, and dimensions across all-electric, hybrid-electric, and diesel options, allowing rental companies to choose preferred power within a single machine. Skyjack booms are renowned for a superior driving experience, a consistent, multi-function capability, and machine reliability.

Skyjack Launches New ACCESSORYZERS at CONEXPO:

• Panel Carrier: Snorkel’s new Panel Carrier, designed for use with compact and conventional DC electric scissors, has been designed following feedback from the members of the Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry and is designed specifically for applications that require holding and lifting sheet materials. With a focus on ease of use, the new Panel Carrier requires no modification or tools for installation. The rated workload is up to 125 pounds (56.7 kg) and the maximum panel size is now 12 feet x 4 feet x 5/8 inches (3.66 m x 1.22 m x 1.59 cm).
  

• LanyardGO: For booms, Skyjack is introducing LanyardGO to detect when an operator has attached their harness lanyard to the lanyard attachment point on the platform. A proximity sensor detects whether or not the lanyard is attached, while coloured LED lights and audible alarm indicate whether machine operation is good to ‘go’ or not. The LanyardGO anchor point inhibits machine operation until the operator attaches their lanyard to the LanyardGO device. Once clipped to the lanyard attachment point, machine functionality returns. LanyardGO is available as a factory installation or as an aftermarket offering.
  
  
• SKYPROTECT & SKYPROTECT+: SKYPROTECT is a secondary guarding lift sensing option for scissors that detects potential collision hazards in the area above the operator through a control box mounted ultrasonic sensor. Upon entering an adjustable, pre-set ‘warning zone’, an audible warning and e-stop light will warn the operator. Once the ‘stop’ zone is reached, the operator can choose to override or remain stopped. SKYPROTECT+ combines SKYPROTECT with Skyjack’s existing secondary enable switch to provide additional functionality through the use of a secondary switch for lifting and reverse driving. 

XStep32 (ANSI/CSA - North America only) - After the introduction of the award-winning XStep, Skyjack has broadened the product offering, so that in addition to the micros, the SJ3215, and the SJ3219, the new XStep32 is now available on all Skyjack 32 series electric scissors. The new XStep32 is a universal design and suitable for all of Skyjack's 32-inch (0.8 m) width electric scissors. Now, Skyjack customers can benefit from safe, maximized reach and productivity on even more of the product range.

• Multi-view Camera & Sensor System (ANSI/CSA - North America only) - Skyjack’s Multi-view Camera & Sensor system incorporates two additional cameras and a tri-view monitor display to enhance blind spot visibility and awareness. The full-color monitor allows the operator to toggle between individual views of the left, right, and rear of the machine, or simultaneously display all three views, providing 220° of visibility. A numeric visual proximity indicator on the rear view and an audible warning provides enhanced object proximity awareness when reversing.     

“Skyjack’s new ACCESSORYZERS are engineered with proven technology to help customers maximize utilization and add safety and functionality on a wide-range of jobsites,” added Corey Connolly, Skyjack’s head of product management. “Whether it’s helping transport and move materials to heights or protecting operators and equipment with enhanced safety options, Skyjack’s innovative and reliable accessories are supporting and optimizing productivity.”
