Skyjack’s new SJ5545 E electric drive scissor lift delivers the highest working height in its range of slab scissors.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the SJ5545 E includes innovative design features and high platform capacities. As well, the machine provides a clean, quiet, sustainable rental solution with zero emissions, lower operating costs and increased utilization.
“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,” said Skyjack President Charlie Patterson. “We are thrilled to see our simply electric E-Drive scissor line continue to grow.”
With a working height of 15.54 metre and a load capacity of 394 kg, this E-Drive model delivers advanced responsive control and manoeuvrability, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of construction, maintenance and industrial applications.
The intelligent adaptive variable speed brushless drive system improves duty cycles and delivers smooth automatic transition from high to low speed on a grade including 25 per cent gradeability. Fully proportional drive and lift controls offer efficiency, controllability and improved torque and traction.
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 two-person wind-rating at 6.7 metres.

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 90-cm 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,” said Corey Connolly, Skyjack’s Head of Product Management.
As well, plug-in calibration is not necessary for day-to-day troubleshooting, all major service points are easily accessible, and common parts across the slab scissor range simplify maintenance and repairs.
“Additionally, Skyjack’s eco mark supports customers by outlining the environmental performance and long-term sustainability of our machines,” Connolly said
