Electric 40ft (11.86m) Skyjack Scissor Lift

Hire the SJ4740 - an electric scissor lift purpose-built for indoor access work where precision and low-emission operation matter. With a work height of 13.86m and a slim overall width, it's ideal for navigating tight aisles, warehouses, and finished indoor environments without compromising reach. Zero-emission electric drive makes it well-suited to enclosed spaces, while non-marking solid tyres protect sensitive floor surfaces. A roll-out extension deck adds extra working area for material handling, it's well suited to hire customers needing reliable indoor access for construction fit-outs, warehousing, retail and facilities maintenance.
