07.02.2012 Skyjack Articulating Boom SJ 63AJ

At The Rental Show Skyjack showed its new prototype 63-foot articulating boom SJ 63AJ. The SJ 63AJ has an expected platform height of 63 feet and horizontal reach of 40 feet. The first models will go into production at the end of the year and Skyjack expects to ship the first units in the first quarter of 2013. The SJ 63AJ also features an open-center knuckle design that allows the articulating boom geometry while maintaining a low overall height. When stowed, the unit features a total height of 100 inches.

The unit weighs about 21,000 pounds, allowing two to be towed on a typical flatbed trailer. The SJ 63AJ is powered by either a GM Vortec 3.0L dual fuel or alternate Deutz Diesel engine. It also shares common a powertrain, hydraulic and electrical components as other Skyjack models. The unit utilizes Skyjack's well-known analog control system with the company's standard color-coded and numbered wiring system. It can be used in both industrial applications as well as rough-terrain applications.
