Description
The 2016 Skyjack SJ86T Telescopic Boom Lift delivers the height, reach, and rough-terrain capability needed for demanding construction, industrial, maintenance, and outdoor applications. With an 86-foot platform height, approximately 92-foot working height, and 76-foot 10-inch horizontal reach, the SJ86T provides substantial access for jobs requiring both height and outreach.
This machine has 5,978 hours and is powered by a diesel engine with 4-wheel drive for improved mobility across challenging jobsite conditions. Skyjack’s oscillating axle and 45% gradeability further enhance its rough-terrain capability.
The SJ86T uses a dual-capacity working envelope, providing up to 750 lbs of platform capacity in the high-capacity zone and 500 lbs in the extended-reach zone. Its 5 ft 6 in jib, 170° platform rotation, and 360° continuous turntable rotation provide additional positioning flexibility when working at height.
This used Skyjack SJ86T is a strong option for structural construction, steel erection, facility maintenance, industrial work, and other applications requiring significant vertical and horizontal reach.

SkyJack telescopic boom lifts offer:
Extended horizontal outreach for accessing difficult or distant areas
High platform heights for elevated projects
Faster lift speeds to reduce downtime
Stable, rugged designs for rough job sites
