Skyjack

Skyjack is a world-leading manufacturer of aerial work platforms and material handling equipment, recognized for its commitment to providing “simply reliable” solutions that prioritize ease of maintenance, high resale value, and exceptional durability.

Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Guelph, Ontario, the company has grown from a specialized Canadian manufacturer into a global powerhouse by focusing on a design philosophy that eschews over-complexity in favor of robust, intuitive engineering. Skyjack’s expertise is most famously embodied in its industry-standard SJ series of electric scissor lifts, which are ubiquitous in the global rental market due to their unique SKYCODED™ color-coded and numbered wiring system, allowing for rapid on-site troubleshooting without the need for complex handheld computers.

In recent years, the company has significantly expanded its product breadth, launching a comprehensive lineup of articulating and telescopic boom lifts—such as the SJ86 T—and high-capacity telehandlers designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the North American construction sector.

Under the ownership of the Linamar Corporation, Skyjack leverages massive automotive-grade manufacturing and supply chain resources to maintain high production quality while driving innovation in “green” technology. This is evidenced by their E-Drive series, which offers longer battery life and zero emissions for indoor applications. By integrating the ELEVATE telematics suite, Skyjack provides fleet managers with actionable data to reduce total cost of ownership.

With a relentless focus on the rental industry’s needs and a “service-first” corporate culture, Skyjack continues to define the benchmark for reliable access equipment, ensuring that contractors can work safely and efficiently at height across all six continents.
