Skyjack began to make scissor lift platforms back during 1986. The company continued to produce their product throughout the 1990s, becoming a world leader in the aerial lift business. Eventually, Skyjack grew to more than 30 percent market share overall. Even now, the company maintains their dominance as a major player who has quickly adapted to the changing face of the industrial equipment business.
Some of the key factors which Skyjack has built a solid reputation on include their commitment to dependability and quality. They are recognized all over the world as being the manufacturer of the best scissor lifts in the world. The Skyjack product series is manufactured and sold all over the globe.
Skyjack was bought by Linamar Corporation, LNR on the TSX during August 2002. Linamar is recognized for being a leading manufacturer of modules, assemblies and precision-machined components. Linamar's solid balance sheet provides Skyjack with long-term stability and increased strength in general. Skyjack currently has production facilities within Ohio, Hungary and the United States with support offices in Europe and Asia.
The company has a lot of self-propelled scissor lifts in its lineup, with models which can work at heights up to 56ft. Skyjack became a leader within the business by providing equipment features which combined serviceability, durability, service and quality, making Skyjack scissor lifts known all around the world for product dependability. The company's present Boom lift model lineup consists of telescopic booms. These models provide telescopic booms which feature work heights ranging from 45 to 71 feet. The company intends further expand the boom lift product line in the future.
In August 2007, the purchase of Volvo's Material Handling Equipment business complements the purchase of Carelift Equipment. This business purchase expands Skyjack's Telehandler product offering resulting in the additional Zoom Boom series and the VR series telehandlers. These acquisitions provide the company an opportunity to grow with the additional manufacturing capacity. Skyjack continues to lead the way in the business, providing reliable lift solutions.
