What features distinguish the Skyjack scissor lift models?
For decades, Skyjack has been a trusted manufacturer of products including scissor lifts. While the SJIII 3219 scissor lift is a popular selection, multiple scissor lifts including micro, compact and even rough terrain models are available from Skyjack. In addition to the popular models, the following factors contribute to the high regard for Skyjack scissor lifts:
- Range of Sizes and Applications: Skyjack scissor lifts can be found in both indoor and outdoor environments, such as construction sites, industrial warehouses and more. Operators value features like front wheel or 4-wheel drive, various work heights and platform widths and models designed specifically for tight spaces. Additionally, machines like the SJIII 3219 are on the lighter end of the scissor lift weight range, which allows for easier transport from one site to another if needed.
- Quality Control System: The proprietary control system incorporates color-coded and numbered wiring to simplify troubleshooting and repairs. This component illustrates Skyjack’s understanding of user-centered design and user-friendly scissor lift operation. This control system approach also makes Skyjack’s scissor lifts easier and often less expensive to maintain.
- Longevity: Skyjack prioritizes the durability of its machines so that operators feel confident in their safety and their investment. This brand’s scissor lifts benefit from heavy-duty steel construction and enhanced scissor arm width and bracing. Additionally, the simplicity of the scissor lift designs including the control systems translate into less frequent replacement needs, as well as fewer and shorter disruptions due to maintenance. In short, equipment like the Skyjack 3220 scissor lift is less likely to break down and faster to fix if a problem does occur, which accounts for the availability of quality used scissor lifts.
- Safety Features: Skyjack shares an overview of safety precautions for potential operators in addition to each machine’s product manual. Standard features like operator horns and tilt alarms, along with other add-on options can further support safe conditions for operators and others.
