March 3, 2026; Linamar Corporation’s (TSX-LNR) Skyjack division announces the launch of new ACCESSORYZERS^TM in 2026. Whether it’s helping get materials to the worksite, protecting equipment and operators, or enhancing productivity, Skyjack has the right accessory for the job.

“Skyjack offers a full line of ACCESSORYZERS^TM that improve machine versatility. Our manufacturer-approved accessories are designed to add functionality and convenience,” said Charlie Patterson, Skyjack President. “The Skyjack team is committed to creating equipment that is designed for rental performance and that contributes to safe and effective jobsites.” 

New ACCESSORYZERS^TM in 2026:

• Panel Carrier
  Our new Panel Carrier, designed for use with compact and conventional DC electric scissors, has been designed following feedback from the members of the Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry and is designed specifically for applications that require holding and lifting sheet materials. With a focus on ease of use, the new Panel Carrier requires no modification or tools for installation. The rated workload is up to 125 lbs (56.7 kg) and the maximum panel size is now 12’ x 4’ x 5/8” (3.66 m x 1.22 m x 1.59 cm).
   
• LanyardGO
  For booms, Skyjack is introducing LanyardGO to detect when an operator has attached their harness lanyard to the lanyard attachment point on the platform. A proximity sensor detects whether or not the lanyard is attached, while coloured LED lights and audible alarm indicate whether machine operation is good to ‘go’ or not. The LanyardGO anchor point inhibits machine operation until the operator attaches their lanyard to the LanyardGO device. Once clipped to the lanyard attachment point, machine functionality returns. LanyardGO is available as a factory installation or as an aftermarket offering.
   
• SKYPROTECT & SKYPROTECT+
  SKYPROTECT is a secondary guarding lift sensing option for scissors that detects potential collision hazards in the area above the operator through a control box mounted ultrasonic sensor. Upon entering an adjustable, pre-set ‘warning zone’, an audible warning and e-stop light will warn the operator. Once the ‘stop’ zone is reached, the operator can choose to override or remain stopped. SKYPROTECT+ combines SKYPROTECT with Skyjack’s existing secondary enable switch to provide additional functionality through the use of a secondary switch for lifting and reverse driving. 
   
• XStep32
  After the introduction of the award-winning XStep, Skyjack has broadened the product offering, so that in addition to the micros, the SJ3215, and the SJ3219, the new XStep32 is now available on all Skyjack 32 series electric scissors. The new XStep32 is a universal design and suitable for all our 32” (0.8 m) width electric scissors. Now, Skyjack customers can benefit from safe, maximized reach and productivity on even more of the product range.
   
• Multi-view Camera & Sensor System
  Skyjack’s Multi-view Camera & Sensor system incorporates two additional cameras and a tri-view monitor display to enhance blind spot visibility and awareness. The full-color monitor allows the operator to toggle between individual views of the left, right, and rear of the machine, or simultaneously display all three views, providing 220° of visibility. A numeric visual proximity indicator on the rear view and an audible warning provides enhanced object proximity awareness when reversing.    

“Skyjack’s new ACCESSORYZERS^TM are engineered with proven technology to help customers maximize utilization and add safety and functionality on a wide-range of jobsites,” added Corey Connolly, Skyjack’s Head of Product Management. “Whether it’s helping transport and move materials to heights or protecting operators and equipment with enhanced safety options, Skyjack’s innovative and reliable accessories are supporting and optimizing productivity.”
