The Skyjack SJ16 vertical mast lift is a compact, electrically powered access platform delivering a 6.75 metre working height and 227kg lifting capacity, designed for efficient indoor access where additional height is required without increasing machine footprint significantly.
Positioned above entry‑level mast lifts like the SJ12, the SJ16 provides greater vertical reach while maintaining a narrow chassis, making it ideal for environments such as warehouses, retail spaces and commercial buildings where space is restricted.
With self‑propelled drive and powered lifting, operators can move and position the platform at height, improving efficiency and reducing downtime on repetitive tasks.
