Skyjack SJ4740 electric scissor lift prototype debuts at Intermat

Skyjack showcased its SJ4740 electric scissor lift prototype at the Intermat trade show in Paris last week.

Developed in response to the incoming ANSI mobile elevating work platform standards, the SJ4740’s three-year-plus development also offered a chance for Skyjack to address lowering the overall cost of ownership, says Kristopher Schmidt, product manager. “It also gave us the opportunity to come up with a more global machine,” he says.

New control box.

New features include an upper control box with integrated shroud and service friendly components, a SkyCoded control system and diagnostic display, a single-location emergency lowering toggle switch and pothole protection.

The SkyCoded control system integrates the functionality of the motor controller, relays and load sense into one system that requires less maintenance and service. “While some manufacturers have gone to a CAN bus system, we wanted to keep our number coded wiring and integrate into the new module,” Schmidt says. “Now its easy to troubleshoot a down machine. Not only does it give you a code, it tells you what’s wrong with the machine. And if something breaks, you can still fix it the old-fashioned way using a multimeter. It makes service easier.”

The machine’s single location emergency E-Lowering toggle switch is integrated in the hydraulic swing-out tray. Unlike current machines, an access rod is no longer needed to reach the relief valve and what used to be a two-step process is reduced to a flip of a switch.

The SJ4740 can also connect to Skyjack’s new Elevate telematics system, providing owners with several data points to help manage their machines.

The units also come with pothole protection, directly mounted to the chassis with a simplified mechanical design, according to the company. The machine is driveable at full height with the rollout deck fully extended. Ground clearance has been improved by up to 45 percent, says Skyjack.

Depending on the timing of the release of the new ANSI standards, Skyjack anticipates the SJ4740 to be in production around early 2019.

Raleigh N.C. 540 outer loop faces environmental legal fight

The map above shows the 540 extension’s general location. Credit: NCDOT Environmental groups have filed a petition challenging the planned path of a future outer loop around Raleigh, North Carolina, due to concerns about the effect on nearby waterways that are home to endangered mussels. The $2.2 billion toll highway, an extension of N.C. 540, would complete the southern portion of an expressway outer loop. The construction contract for the first phase was awarded in December , and the N.C. Division of Water Quality recently issued an environmental permit for the project. The Southern Environmental Law Center , along with other environmental groups, is petitioning for an administrative hearing to challenge the environmental permit. The SELC says the proposed highway would “tear through 57,000 linear feet of streams and 70 acres of wetlands.” The groups are also concerned about increased stormwater runoff from the additional pavement from the highway, as well as more greenhouse em...
