The Skyjack SJ16 vertical mast lift is a compact, battery‑powered access platform offering a 6.75m working height and a 227kg platform capacity. Designed for indoor access in restricted or congested environments, the SJ16 delivers greater vertical reach than micro scissor lifts while maintaining a narrow footprint suitable for offices, warehouses and commercial buildings. With the platform retracted it is drivable indoors at full height. Its compact footprint allows the SJ16 to be taken into many elevators and into positions that many other platforms cannot access.
