Skyjack launches two all new micro scissor lifts
Skyjack’s new micro scissor range represents a new option in the low-level access arena.
The new SJ3213 micro and SJ3219 micro were unveiled at The ARA Show in New Orleans in February.
The “mighty micro” line aims to combine reliability with low cost of ownership and product support.
“We’re really excited about these new machines. We think they’re going to be a significant new presence in the low-level access arena,” said Corey Connolly, Senior Product Manager at Skyjack.
“They’re ideal for easy accessibility in tight spaces, as well as featuring enhanced duty cycle through the use of AC electric drive motors.”
The new lifts feature fully proportional E-Drive and lift controls for more efficiency, controllability and improved torque.
“Our focus is always on improving productivity and cost of ownership, and E-Drive allows our newest micro scissors to give you more for less,” Connolly said.
The new micros have been designed to fit most passenger style elevators and work in environments where space is at a premium while still providing a substantial work area.
The micro scissor lifts feature 4-metre or 5.8-metre platform heights as well as a 227-kg capacity. A 50-cm rollout extension increases the work area and provides up and over capability.
“This is an exciting launch for Skyjack,” said Skyjack President Charlie Patterson. “Our team understands the importance of maximum uptime and we pride ourselves on providing machine features that combine durability, quality and serviceability.”
Skyjack ECO mark
Rental companies and contractors are facing increasing demands for sustainability information. As a solution, Skyjack has introduced its ECO mark to support customers by providing products that deliver benefits in environmental performance and long-term sustainability.
“SkyJack’s ECO mark supports our customers by providing products that deliver environmental benefits, performance and long-term sustainability,” Connolly said. “So, that’s one of the things you’ll notice on these machines, as well as providing some additional information that our customers are interested in.”

Skyjack’s E-Drive scissors deliver a 16 per cent operational carbon saving compared to previous model, as well as up to a 20 per cent improvement in duty cycle over an equivalent hydraulic drive machine.
The micro lifts are approved for use with bio-degradable hydraulic oil and generate zero emissions. The machines are also 90 per cent recyclable by weight. Skyjack’s ECOtray is also an option, which contains possible fluid leaks from the machines.
