Linamar Corporation’s Skyjack division announces the launch of the all-new SJ6940 RT, the latest addition to their rough terrain scissor lift lineup. With a working height of 46’ (14.02 m) 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 jobsite versatility in mind, the SJ6940 RT delivers the longest working area in the class with a platform that is 14’ 10” (4.52 m) in length with the roll-out deck extended. An oscillating front steer axle tackles tough jobsite 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.

“At Skyjack, we pride ourselves on designing for rental and building machines that optimize productivity,” said Charlie Patterson, Skyjack President. “The new SJ6940 RT scissor offers outstanding performance and an impressive 800 lb (362.874 kg) capacity to support more people, tools, and materials.”
