January 21, 2026; Linamar Corporation’s (TSX:LNR) Skyjack division announces the launch of the all-new SJ6940 RT, the latest addition to their rough terrain scissor lift lineup. With a working height of 14.19 m (46’ 6”) and a platform capacity of 362.874 kg (800 lbs), this new rough terrain scissor sets a new benchmark as the tallest machine in Skyjack’s compact RT scissor class.

Engineered with productivity and jobsite versatility in mind, the SJ6940 RT delivers the longest working area in the class with a platform that is 4.52 m (14’ 10”) in length with the roll-out deck extended. An oscillating front steer axle tackles tough jobsite terrain and auto-leveling outriggers (optional on ANSI/CSA models, standard on CE/AS models) maximise usability. These features, combined with Skyjack’s renowned durability, make these scissors an ideal solution for construction, maintenance, and industrial applications. 

“At Skyjack, we pride ourselves on designing for rental and building machines that optimise productivity,” said Charlie Patterson, Skyjack President. “The new SJ6940 RT scissor offers outstanding performance and an impressive 362.874 kg (800 lb) capacity to support more people, tools, and materials.”

This new scissor lift features a 4-wheel driveline with wheel motors, torque hubs, and an oscillating front axle, providing superior traction, manoeuvrability, and a 35% gradeability rating ensuring excellent mobility across challenging terrain.

“The SJ6940 RT is purpose-built to outperform in rough terrain conditions,” said Corey Connolly, Skyjack’s Head of Product Management. “Our four-level scissor stack, with a single-cylinder design, significantly reduces leak points and simplifies maintenance. Paired with our intelligent adaptive drive system, this rough terrain scissor lift consistently delivers reliable performance in rugged environments. In keeping with Skyjack’s commitment to sustainability, this new machine has an engine that is HVO compatible and offers a dual fuel option in North America.”

The SJ6940 RT is now available in the North American, South American, European, and Australian markets. Learn more about the new rough terrain scissor lift at www.skyjack.com/en-eu/product/sj6940-rt.
