With a working height of 46 feet, the SJ6940 RT rough-terrain scissor lift maximizes usability and versatility
Skyjack's all-new SJ6940 RT is the latest addition to its rough-terrain scissor lift lineup. With a working height of 46 feet (14.02 metres) and a platform capacity of 800 lbs (362.874 kg), this new rough terrain scissor sets a new benchmark as the tallest machine in Skyjack's compact RT scissor class.
Engineered with productivity and job site versatility in mind, the SJ6940 RT delivers the longest working area in the class with a platform that is 14 feet 10 inches (4.52 metres) in length with the roll-out deck extended. An oscillating front steer axle tackles tough job site terrain and auto-leveling outriggers (optional on ANSI/CSA models, standard on CE/AS models) maximize usability. These features, combined with Skyjack's renowned durability, make these scissors an ideal solution for indoor and outdoor construction, maintenance, and industrial applications.
This new scissor lift features a 4-wheel driveline with wheel motors, torque hubs, and an oscillating front axle, providing superior traction, manoeuvrability, and a 35 percent gradeability rating ensuring excellent mobility across challenging terrain.

"Our four-level scissor stack, with a single-cylinder design, significantly reduces leak points and simplifies maintenance. Paired with our intelligent adaptive drive system, this rough terrain scissor lift consistently delivers reliable performance in rugged environments. In keeping with Skyjack's commitment to sustainability, this new machine has an engine that is HVO compatible and offers a dual fuel option in North America."
