Skyjack will be showing off a variety of scissor lifts at the American Rental Association's ARA Show 2020. The manufacturer will also be discussing various updates to its products at the show, which will take place in Orlando, Florida, February 10 to 12.

ANSI Compliance

“Much of what we’ll cover at The ARA Show’s press conference will inevitably be about the new ANSI standards,” says Ken McDougall, who last fall returned to his role as president of Skyjack. “Our focus is on showing enhancements we’ve made outside of what’s mandated to produce a range that helps rebalance the ROI equation. Some paths to ANSI compliance have driven increased cost, so we’ve tried to mitigate that as much as possible.”

“We have been eager to fully roll out the next generation of DC scissor lifts for some time now and so we’re excited to have a fleet of sale-ready, next-generation equipment on stand at The ARA Show,” says Skyjack Vice President Of Marketing Malcolm Early. “We’re bringing an assortment of scissor lifts, both DC and rough terrain, as well as showcasing updates to our booms for the first time at a show.”

The SKYCODED System

The 40- and 60-foot (12- and 18-meter) boom lifts in Skyjack’s lineup now have greater lifting capacities. They also come with a new dual-module control system connected to the lifts’ SKYCODED wiring system. SKYCODED features color-coded and numbered wires, along with new benefits such as an error code display.

“The new SKYCODED control system enables our machines to better communicate with our ELEVATE telematics solution,” says Early. “The enhancements made on our machines directly translate into enhanced data delivered by telematics. In fact, some of that data leads to ground-breaking digital products, and we’ll be announcing exactly what those entail at our February 10th press conference.”
