Increased reach
Safety has always been at the forefront of Skyjack’s development and the new XStep is no exception.

| XStep provides operators with an additional 19 inches of job site access via the sturdy platform mounted securely on the mid rails. |
The most recent IPAF Global Safety Report cited falls from the platform to be among the most common type of incidents leading to death – a finding that has remained consistent over the last decade. Paired with the relatively common practice of operators standing on railings to gain more height, it became clear that a tool to allow increased reach in a safe manner was needed. With XStep, working height is maximized and productivity is improved with increased access into and around difficult spaces such as ceiling-mounted structures.
XStep provides operators with an additional 19 inches of job site access via the sturdy platform mounted securely on the mid rails. The design and height of the top railing on the XStep, as well as entry and exit via the locking gate, ensures operators have the same degree of security as a conventional platform.
The XStep can be installed by one person in five minutes. Retrofittable to previous Skyjack DC scissor models, XStep can be conveniently moved from one scissor to another, allowing for increased fleet flexibility.
