June 5, 2025; Linamar Corporation’s (TSX:LNR) Skyjack division has announced the landing of the new range of battery powered electric rough terrain articulated booms in Europe. Skyjack’s newest SJ45 AJE + and SJ60 AJE + models - available with 51ft (15.7m) and 66ft (20.1m) working heights - are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. 

Including many of the design features that users have come to expect from Skyjack, the all-electric axle-based drive offers excellent traction, while high performance AC electric traction and pump motors deliver high torque power and consistent multi-function capability.

Following the 2024 launch, the new booms have made their mark in the European market. Most recently, Swedish company Heri AB received two SJ60 AJE +. Located in Luleå, Heri operates as a wholesaler in the construction and industrial sectors. Skyjack customers since 1995, Heri is constantly renewing their fleet with very high environmental ambitions making the electric booms an ideal fit as 83% of their lifts are electric or hybrid. 

”It´s exciting to try new products. We focus a lot on electrical driven equipment even though we are located just 120km below the polar circle,” said Henrik Erlandsson, Sales Manager, Heri AB. “We have now had the new Skyjack E-booms running for over 3 winter months and they are operating with excellence. I´m putting the E-booms straight to the top 3 list of Skyjack machines!”

SkyAccess Handel AG received four booms in 2024, two SJ45 AJE+ and two SJ60 AJE+. The new machines are for their biggest customer, the Swiss rental company WS-Skyworker AG, who is one of the largest owners, with over 500 machines from Skyjack. SkyAccess is also a long time Skyjack customer, they offer top-notch service as well as training out of their Oensingen, Switzerland base. With over 40 years of trusted work in the field, SkyAccess is sought after for those working at heights. 

“We are very happy that Skyjack has now also the Electric Boom and in such good quality and performance,” shared Lukas Bielser, Head of Sales, SkyAccess Handel AG.
“We are proud to be partner of Skyjack and looking forward to many years to come.”

Specializing in the rental of machines for working at heights, Schelluinen, Netherlands based Hoogwerkservice also added two SJ45 AJE+ to their fleet this fall, as featured on their LinkedIn page. With knowledge and experienced staff, as well transport, assembly and full service teams, Hoogwerkservice prides themselves on giving clients excellent support with the right machine for the job.

“We are very proud of the purchase of our new skyjack aerial platforms,” explained Luuk van der Hoek, Managing Director, Hoogwerkservice. “With these machines, we are working towards a future of expanding our emission-free rental fleet while still offering quality machines.”

“We’re thrilled to see our latest booms in action with such valued customers,” shared Charlie Patterson, Skyjack President. “Designed to meet true job site expectations while providing a sustainable and reliable choice for rental, it’s rewarding to see our machines do just that in a variety of conditions and jobs.”

Skyjack has initially launched the SJ45 AJE+ and SJ60 AJE+ in its EAME and Australian regions with a CE and AS certification.
