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.

How to adjust CTL track tension (VIDEO)

It’s one of the simpler maintenance chores you can do, but adjusting the tension on the tracks of your compact track loader is critically important. If your tracks get too loose, they may spool off the undercarriage and put you in a bind – replacing tracks in the field takes at least two people and often auxiliary equipment. If your tracks are too tight, they can damage the undercarriage and lead to premature wear. We teamed with Leland Garrison, service technician at Thompson Tractor in Birmingham, Alabama, for a quick lesson on the proper way to tension the tracks on a Cat CTL. Note that different brands of CTLs will have different ways to accomplish this task, so consult your owner’s manual or your dealer and follow their instructions for the brand of machine you have. And don’t miss our video of this guide below where Garrison takes you through each step of this process. 1.
