SKYJACK SJIII 4740

Overview

A 40 ft scissor lift gives you 46 feet of working reach on a stable scissor platform. Models like the Skyjack SJIII 4740 and Genie GS-4047 are the high-reach choice for steel erection, high-bay industrial maintenance and stadium work where you need height plus the wide standing deck of a scissor — not the swinging basket of a boom.

Spec the electric variant for indoor and finished-surface work; spec the rough terrain (RT) diesel variant for outdoor construction, uneven ground, and heavy material handling. RT 40 ft models add four-wheel drive, foam-filled tires, and outriggers for stability at full extension.

Global Solutions Equipment carries new and certified used 40 ft scissor lifts from authorized dealers. Every unit includes current annual inspection, OEM operator and service manuals, and dealer-network parts support nationwide.
