Skyjack Boom Lift Financing

Skyjack builds machines that are deliberately engineered for simplicity. The SJ46AJ articulating boom runs a single-engine configuration with a direct-drive system and minimal hydraulic complexity. Rental companies love that because it keeps maintenance costs down and keeps the machine on rent rather than in the shop. That reputation for uptime and serviceability is why Skyjack has held a top-three position in the North American access equipment market for decades.

We fund Skyjack telescopic booms and articulating booms from $50,000 on up. New units from a Skyjack dealer, used machines from rental fleet sell-offs, private parties, or auctions. Short-doc to $400,000, B and C credit considered, closes in about roughly two weeks. The process is as straightforward as Skyjack's engineering philosophy.

Skyjack is a brand of Linamar Corporation, a Canadian industrial manufacturer, and it manufactures its access equipment at facilities in Guelph, Ontario. That manufacturing base has kept production quality consistent and parts availability strong across North America, which supports the machines' residual values.

The SJ-T series covers Skyjack's telescopic booms. The SJ45T reaches 45 feet of platform height, while the SJ63T extends to 63 feet. These are diesel four-wheel-drive rough-terrain machines designed for outdoor construction. They are competitive with the Genie S-40 and S-60 in their respective height classes and typically price lower on the new and used market.

The SJ-AJ series handles the articulating side. The SJ46AJ is a 46-foot articulating boom with the single-engine direct-drive configuration Skyjack is known for. The SJ66AJ steps up to 66 feet with a 500-pound restricted capacity and over-and-under boom geometry. These machines compete with the Genie Z-45 and Z-60 and the JLG 450AJ and 600AJ.

Used Skyjack booms are among the most liquid in the secondary market, second only to JLG and Genie. A used SJ63T with under 3,000 hours typically trades between $60,000 and $95,000 depending on year and condition. A used SJ46AJ in comparable shape runs $50,000 to $80,000. Both ranges clear our floor comfortably, and transactions on Skyjack used iron move fast because lenders know the collateral.

Skyjack does not build an ultra-high boom above 66 feet. The brand focuses on the 40-to-66-foot reach class where the highest volume of rental and contractor demand sits. Contractors who need reach above 66 feet are typically looking at JLG, Genie, or Haulotte for that work. For 65-foot boom lift financing specifically, the Skyjack SJ66AJ is one of the primary machines buyers consider.

Rental companies account for a large share of Skyjack's North American sales volume. The machines' low maintenance requirements reduce fleet downtime, and the competitive acquisition pricing means a rental operator gets a lower cost basis per unit than with the comparable JLG or Genie. For rental companies financing fleet additions or replacements, Skyjack on a lease structure or a loan makes strong economic sense.

Roofing contractors buying a first boom lift often choose Skyjack for the same reason: price and simplicity. A SJ45T or SJ46AJ at a lower acquisition cost than the JLG or Genie equivalent gets a roofing crew to height for less initial capital, and the machine holds up under the rough terrain of commercial roofing sites.

General contractors on commercial construction projects value the reliability track record. A machine that stays on rent or in service with minimal shop visits is worth paying attention to over a multi-year project timeline. Skyjack's service network in Canada and the US is deep enough that finding a technician is rarely a problem.

The standard path is a short application plus recent operating bank statements. We review both, ask any questions we have within a day, and come back with a deal structure. If you are buying from a Skyjack dealer, the dealer's quote serves as the invoice. If you are buying from an auction or private party, we need the bill of sale and a clean title check.

An equipment loan on a Skyjack gives you ownership from day one and the ability to take a Section 179 deduction in the current tax year if the machine is placed in service before December 31. A lease gives you a lower monthly payment and can be structured with a terminal purchase option at the end of the term. We walk you through both on your specific numbers before you commit.

If you already own a Skyjack outright or have equity in one, a cash-out equipment refinance pulls that equity as operating capital without selling the machine. For contractors who bought a Skyjack during a good year and now want to use that capital for a new project or a slow-season cash cushion, it is the right tool. We fund boom lift equipment loans and leasebacks on Skyjack with the same timeline and credit tolerance as any other brand we work with.
