Skyjack started to manufacture scissor lift platforms back during 1986. The company continued to produce their product throughout the 1990s, becoming a global leader in the aerial lift industry sector. Eventually, Skyjack grew to more than 30% market share overall. Even today, the company maintains their dominance as a key player who has rapidly adapted to the changing face of the industrial equipment business.
Several of the key factors that Skyjack has built a solid reputation on include their commitment to reliability and quality. They are known all over the world as being the maker of the best scissor lifts in the world. The Skyjack product series is sold and manufactured all over the globe.
Linamar Corporation, known as LNR on the TSX, acquired Skyjack in August the year 2002. Linamar is best recognized for its production of assemblies, modules and precision-machined components. Linamar's solid balance sheet provides Skyjack with increased strength and long-term stability in general. Skyjack currently has production facilities in Hungary, the United States and Santa Clara with support offices within Europe and Asia.
The company has many self-propelled scissor lifts in its lineup, with models which can work at heights up to 56ft. Skyjack became a leader within the industry by offering machine features that combined durability, serviceability, service and quality, making Skyjack scissor lifts known throughout the world for product dependability. The existing Boom lift model lineup of the company consists of telescopic booms. These models offer telescopic booms that feature work heights varying from 45 to 71 feet. The company has plans to further expand the boom lift product line in the future.
The purchase of Volvo's Material Handling Equipment business during the month of August 2007 complements the products acquired in the purchase of Carelift Equipment. These acquisitions have enhanced Skyjack's Telehandler product offering in both the VR series telehandlers and the Boom Zoom series. These acquisitions provide the company a chance to grow with the additional manufacturing capacity. Skyjack continues to lead the way within the industry, providing reliable lift solutions.
