June 16, 2025; Linamar Corporation’s (TSX:LNR) Skyjack division announces the first SJ60 AJHE+ delivery in Germany with two machines going to longtime customer WOCKEN Industriepartner GmbH & Co. KG.

Delivered on May 7th to their Meppen headquarters, the hybrid electric rough terrain articulated boom offers three modes of operation: with electric, automatic, and manual.

“We are thrilled to debut the SJ60 AJHE+ in Germany and couldn’t be happier that our valued longtime customer WOCKEN is the first to carry this new boom,” shared Andreas Stumpf, VP of Sales & Operations EMEA, Skyjack. “Our new hybrid line has been developed to provide a clean, quiet, and sustainable rental solution featuring low emissions, lower operating costs, and increased utilisation to meet the needs of our customers.”

Part of the new hybrid line alongside the SJ45 AJHE+, the SJ60 AJHE+ offers many of the design features that users come to expect from Skyjack, including Skyjack’s unique EASYDRIVE™. Following the earlier all-electric boom launch in June of 2024, the hybrid range also offers high-performance AC electric traction, while pump/generator motors deliver high torque power and consistent multi-function capability. 

This isn’t the first time WOCKEN has been the first in Germany to take home a new Skyjack model, with WOCKEN also being the first in the country to take home the SJ9664 RT, delivered in 2021.

“The SJ60 AJHE+ is an environmentally friendly, sustainable choice for rental, one we’re happy to have as part of our fleet,” explained Jens Burrichter, Manager Rental Branch, WOCKEN, “We’ve enjoyed a strong relationship with Skyjack throughout our history, and we’re delighted to be the first in Germany to receive the machine.”

For over 65 years, the name WOCKEN has stood for reliable partnership in industry and craftsmanship, both in the Emsland region and beyond. The family-owned company, headquartered in Meppen, is now active at fourteen locations in northern and eastern Germany.

With its divisions in technical wholesale, professional service, and rental shops, WOCKEN offers a wide range of services for industrial and craft businesses from various industries.
