Aerial Work Platform


Josts is now distributing Skyjack range of Aerial Platform in India. Quality and reliability are the hallmarks that have given Skyjack a solid reputation as the manufacturer of the best scissor lifts in the world.

Skyjack produces a full line of Aerial Work Platforms like Self Propelled Vertical Mast Lifts, DC Aerial Platform (Self Propelled) and Self Propelled Rough Terrain Aerial Platform with elevated work heights ranging from 5.6 mtrs to 17 mtrs, and capacities up to 900 kg.

Skyjack’s Aerial platform range features a compact footprint, service low maintenance design and superior maneuverability concept. When operating these aerial platforms in tight workplaces, a high degree steer angle allows superior functionality and flexibility by a zero inside turning radius. Skjack aerial platforms combine solid and powerful design elements to meet the demands of any job site environment with easy accessibility to all major components so that maintenance and serviceability have reduced turn around time.

Types of Aerial Work Platform

1. Vertical Mast Lift

Skyjack’s Vertical Mast Lifts offer an easy to service, low maintenance design in a compact and versatile package. These are zero emission, compact machines with low floor

loading which means they can be used in more applications, including on finished and ornamental floors increasing your customer base.

  • A motor controller increases proportionality and improves battery life by adjusting the speed of the 24 Volt DC motor and output from the hydraulic gear pump
  • Front wheel hydraulic drive with 90 degree steering gives a zero inside turning radius
  • Can operate with confidence in the smallest of spaces and in close proximity to sensitive and valuable equipment.
  • A spring “coil” type control and power cable ensures reliable operation.
  • The cylinder can be removed without disassembling the mast and chain mounts are easily accessible for inspection.
  • Pothole protection helps minimize tip over hazards
  • Low stowed platform height allows easy step in entry and exit from platform
  • Tie down lift lugs for easy transportation
  • Up to 30% gradeability.

2. DC Electric Scissor Lift
  • Steel swing out trays with heavy duty hinges and latch provide easy access on both sides for motor; pump; hydraulics; electrical panels and batteries
  • Can be driven fully elevated in both indoor and outdoor applications on firm level ground.
  • Prevents overloading and prolongs battery life due to Automatic “smart” battery chargers with multi-voltage and dual frequency capacity.
  • International input power standardization for all applications.
  • Prevents unauthorized use of unit when locked due to Lockable master battery disconnect switch.
  • Operator gets the alerts that the unit is off level through the tilt alarm with drive and lift cut out.
  • All motion audible alarm alerts bystanders of machine movement.
  • Emergency manual lowering system.
  • Minimize tip over hazards due to self-deploying pothole protection.
  • Tie down lift lugs and forklift pockets aid in loading, securing and transportation.

3.Electric Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts
  • Maintenance costs and time are reduced due to the elimination of air filters, fuel filters, oil filters, oil changes, belts, coolants, etc associated with internal combustion engines
  • The first electric scissor lift in its size with 45 percent gradeability and crossover symmetrical four-wheel drive as standard, means the machine can operate on almost all job sites.
  • Foam-filled non-marking tires as standard, near-zero noise levels and zero emissions make the transition from outdoor to indoor jobs easier than ever.
  • The tightest turning radius and most compact dimensions in its class provide unmatched maneuverability on site
  • The range-extending genset option adds versatility, allowing it to be reliably used at green field construction sites with no AC power, or when multiple shifts do not allow sufficient down time to complete a standard charging cycle.

4.Telescopic Boom Lifts
  • Enhance in job site productivity with superior traction and terrainability due to Axle based drive system
  • Provide extra working due to Jib boom models range
  • Indoor/outdoor applications are supported by dual fuel engine options
  • Tail swing is minimized for maneuvering in confined spaces
  • Ideal for applications that demand out reach in construction and industrial environments with limited access

5. Articulating Boom Lifts
  • Provide versatility in the form of industry leading “up and over” reach capability
  • Ideal for both construction and industrial applications.
  • Feature superior reach capabilities – at height, horizontal reach, or up and over clearance
  • Maneuvering in confined areas due to tight turning radius and zero tailswing
  • Axle based four-wheel drive
  • Excellent power, torque, and overall terrainability due to diesel and dual fuel engine options
  • Jib feature provides increased working range

Articulating Boom Lifts

Applications in Various Sectors

  • Used in construction industries
  • Use for public utility functions such as tree care, working on traffic lights, electric lines, fixing telephone lines, street lights, painting jobs. Machines used for such purpose are also called Cherry pickers.
  • Used in airports for maintenance works.
  • Used in facility management services for lifting personnel for maintenance and repair works in buildings, stadiums
  • Used in warehouses also for fast stacking and withdrawal of loads.
  • Used in film industries to lift camera and personnel
