Following the launch of the company’s AC brushless electric drive scissors in North American in 2023, Skyjack has brought the E-Drive line to these global markets.

The new models feature a designation carrying “E” to signify E-Drive, for example SJ3219 E.

The electric range is designed to give users more, with improved efficiency, controllability, and torque. The innovative drive system provides exceptional duty cycles and fully proportional controls, which offer a superior drive experience, says Skyjack.

Productivity is boosted with an improvement of up to 20% in runtime per charge, while E-Drive provides over 25% gradeability.

“We’re proud to offer the latest expansion of our E-Drive line,” said Charlie Patterson, Skyjack President. “With this latest launch we now offer both our DC scissor range and our rough terrain articulated booms with E-Drive technology, allowing us to empower users with more.”
