With a working height of 51 feet and a load capacity of 770 pounds, this E-Drive model has exceptionally responsive control and maneuverability, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of construction, maintenance and industrial applications. The intelligent adaptive variable speed brushless drive system provides long duty cycles, smooth automatic transition from high to low speed on a grade including 25 percent gradeability. Fully proportional drive and lift controls offer efficiency, controllability, and improved torque and traction.
“Skyjack machines are known for reliability, durability, and serviceability. Our new slab scissor provides a simple, quality, and environmentally friendly choice for rental at our highest working height,” says Charlie Patterson, Skyjack president. “We are thrilled to see our simply electric E-Drive scissor line continue to grow.”
The scissor stack design of the SJ5545 E features fully welded cross-bracing that increases rigidity and improves operator comfort at height. The SJ5545 E is drivable at full height and offers a 2-person wind-rating at 22 feet for optimal performance and utilization.
The maximized width of the robust, all-steel, anti-slip platform provides the largest working areas in its class, while minimizing space between platform and workface. The platform incorporates multiple lanyard attachment points and a manually operated 3-foot roll-out extension deck for an optimized work area and up-and-over capability. The modular rail system easily folds down to reduce stowed height for transportation.
“The Skyjack team designs our innovative machines to maximize uptime. The new SJ5545 E has proven, easy-to-understand control systems, with an on-board digital diagnostics display that allows operators to see real-time, simple language readouts, and load-sensing information. No plug-in calibration is necessary for day-to-day troubleshooting, all major service points are easily accessible, and common parts across our slab scissor range make for straightforward maintenance and repairs,” says Corey Connolly, Skyjack’s head of product management. “Additionally, Skyjack’s ECO mark supports customers by outlining the environmental performance and long-term sustainability of our machines.”
