Skyjack Celebrates 40 Years with Elevate To Celebrate Giveaway (Here’s How to Enter)
Skyjack is marking a monumental milestone this year — its 40th anniversary in the mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) industry. To celebrate this achievement, Skyjack is launching its exciting “Elevate To Celebrate” giveaway, running from January 30th to July 31st, 2025. The giveaway offers a chance for Skyjack fans and customers to win hundreds of prizes, including limited-edition anniversary hats, t-shirts and plush toys, along with Yeti coolers, tumblers and cooler bags.
Participants can easily enter by scanning the ELEVATE Live QR code on any Skyjack machine. This quick scan triggers a pop-up slot machine on your mobile phone, giving you instant feedback on whether you’ve won. The more machines you scan, the more chances you have to win! What makes this giveaway even sweeter is the fact that rental companies also stand a chance to win. Every prize won through a scan enters the owning rental company into a drawing for a chance to win one of two compact DC scissor lifts — a perfect addition to any fleet. From the press release:
“We’re thrilled to commemorate 40 years of Skyjack and we thought it was fitting to show our appreciation for those who have supported us throughout the decades,” shared Charlie Patterson, Skyjack, President. “Rental companies and their customers play a massive role in the success of Skyjack and we look forward to sharing in this celebration with them.”
Skyjack’s Presence at The ARA Show
Skyjack’s celebration kicked off with a bang at The ARA Show 2025 in Las Vegas last week. We were there. The company showcased some of its latest and most innovative machines. The show was a fantastic success, filled with eager attendees and incredible new products. Skyjack’s display highlighted their scissor lift offerings, including the SJ6832 RT and the SJ4740 E. The E-Drive line also made a splash, featuring SJ3219 E and SJ3219 micro models with the unique micro XStep — a solution that enables greater working heights in tight spaces.
Skyjack’s SJ30 ARJE articulating boom and SJ45 AJ+ models were also part of the showcase, demonstrating the company’s continued commitment to cutting-edge solutions in both electric and diesel-powered equipment. These models include SMARTORQUE technology, which enhances efficiency while keeping operating costs in check.
It was clear from the energy of the attendees and the innovation on display that Skyjack is not slowing down anytime soon. The company continues to push the envelope with products that focus on efficiency, serviceability and sustainability — values that have propelled them to the forefront of the MEWP industry for 40 years.
Skyjack’s Legacy of Innovation
Skyjack has built a reliable reputation over the last four decades, producing MEWPs that prioritize serviceability and durability. They’ve consistently introduced machines that meet the evolving demands of the industry. Most recently, Skyjack received Compact Equipment’s 2024 Innovative Iron Award for their SJ3213 and SJ3219 micro scissor lifts, which are designed to maximize productivity in tight spaces — a major win for rental companies and contractors alike.
With these micro scissor lifts, Skyjack addressed the increasing need for machines that can easily navigate narrow spaces without sacrificing performance. The SJ3219 micro can reach up to 25 ft, making it perfect for working in confined areas like schools, hospitals and office buildings, while maintaining the brand’s signature ease of maintenance and low operating costs.
Looking Forward to the Next 40 Years
Skyjack’s 40th anniversary is not only a celebration of the past but also a promise for the future. As they continue to innovate and meet the needs of an ever-evolving market, the next 40 years look bright for this MEWP leader. From their successful showing at The ARA Show to the ongoing celebration through the Elevate To Celebrate giveaway, Skyjack is proving once again that they are one to watch in the world of compact construction equipment. Be sure to enter the giveaway, explore their latest innovations and stay tuned for more groundbreaking products from Skyjack. From the press release:
“We are proud of the solid reputation we have built since founding in 1985,” continued Patterson. “There have been many exciting milestones along the way. For example, in 1992 we were the first to produce the 3226 scissor lift. In 2013, our 250,000th Skyjack was manufactured. More recently, 2022 marked the launch of new production plants in Mexico and China, with expansions in Canada and Hungary. It has been an exceptional 40 years and I look forward to continued success for Skyjack.”
