Skyjack has expanded its Australian office in New South Wales. Increased market share in both Australia and New Zealand has been a driving force behind the expansion since the company’s market entry more than six years ago, the company said. The new build encompasses 3,500 square meters of internal space and measure five times larger than its previous location. The new facility was fully designed with Skyjack and its mobile elevating work platforms in mind.

“With our expanded workspace and a significantly larger parts department, we can stock more machines and more parts,” said Jason Cranmer, sales and operations director. “This means that customers have easier access to the products they need. This means that customers have easier access to the products they need, with limited wait times. The additional space also allows for an easier flow through of machines, which increases our efficiency.”

The new site in Eastern Creek, New South Wales, can store all the machines indoors and is equipped with an ecofriendly wash bay that uses recycled water. Also the new space incorporates the 5S system found in all Skyjack locations, designed to reduce waste and optimize productivity through maintaining an orderly workplace and using visual cues to achieve consistent results.

“It’s a new building created specifically for Skyjack and our equipment,” Cranmer added. “We couldn’t be happier with the final product.”
