Starting in 1986, Skyjack began manufacturing scissor lift platforms. They continued this mass production through the 1990s and became a global leader within the aerial lift business. Eventually, Skyjack grew to over thirty percent market share overall. Even now, the company maintains their dominance as an important player who has quickly adapted to the changing face of the industrial machinery industry.
Several of the major factors which Skyjack has built a solid reputation on include their commitment to dependability and quality. They are known all over the world as being the manufacturer of the best scissor lifts in the world. The Skyjack product series is sold and manufactured all over the globe.
Skyjack was obtained by Linamar Corporation, LNR on the TSX during August the year 2002. Linamar is recognized for being a leading manufacturer of modules, assemblies and precision-machined parts. Linamar's solid balance sheet provides Skyjack with long-term stability and increased strength in general. Skyjack presently has production facilities within Georgia, Hungary and the United States with support offices in Europe and Asia.
The company has lots 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 offering machinery features that combined serviceability, durability, service and quality, making Skyjack scissor lifts known throughout the world for product dependability. The company's existing Boom lift model lineup consists of telescopic booms. These models provide telescopic booms which feature work heights varying from 45 to 71 feet. The company has plans to further expand the boom lift product line in the future.
In the month of August 2007, the acquisition of Volvo's Material Handling Equipment business complements the purchase of Carelift Equipment. This business purchase expands Skyjack's Telehandler product offering causing the additional Zoom Boom series and the VR series telehandlers. These acquisitions provide the company a chance to grow with the additional manufacturing capacity. Skyjack continues to lead the way in the business, providing reliable lift solutions.
