Skyjack Brings Compact Telehandler, Virtual Reality and More to Rental Show
Skyjack is unveiling its newest telehandler, the compact SJ519 TH, the company’s first compact telehandler, at The Rental Show in New Orleans Feb. 19-21. The company will also be showing its new “gaming app” as well as advancements the company has been making in the virtual reality and training area.
Leading up to the Rental Show, Skyjack has launched weekly videos on its telematics series, which outlined where telematics is now, how the industry got there and where it needs to go.

We will continue to provide quality engineered, simple and reliable products, while finding opportunities that incorporate our customers’ goals in how we do business.”
Skyjack, headquartered in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, will be at Booth 5339.
