46ft Skyjack SJ46 AJ Articulating Boom Lift

The Skyjack SJ46 AJ is a diesel-powered articulating boom lift with a platform height of 14.1 m (46 ft) and a working height of approximately 16.1 m (52 ft). With 7.54 m of horizontal reach and an up-and-over clearance of 7.45 m, it handles complex access tasks where direct vertical positioning is not possible — reaching over obstacles, into recessed facades, or underneath structural overhangs. Platform capacity is 227 kg, accommodating two operators with tools.

What sets the SJ46 AJ apart from comparable articulating booms in its class is Skyjack's zero-tailswing chassis design. The machine rotates 355 degrees without the rear of the unit swinging beyond its footprint, which is a practical advantage on congested construction sites, loading docks, or anywhere equipment and personnel are working nearby. A 170-degree platform rotator and articulating jib (±70°/–75°) add further positioning flexibility at height. The 45% gradeability rating and solid tyres make it capable on rough or uneven outdoor terrain without the maintenance overhead of pneumatic tyres.

In the Geelong region, this machine is well suited to commercial building construction, industrial facility maintenance, and infrastructure projects around Corio and the North Geelong industrial corridor — particularly where ground-level obstructions or structural complexity limits scissor lift or straight-boom access.
