Starting in 1986, Skyjack began making scissor lift platforms. They continued this mass production throughout the 1990s and became a world leader in the aerial lift industry sector. Eventually, Skyjack grew to more than 30 percent market share overall.

These acquisitions provide the company an opportunity to grow with the additional manufacturing capacity. Skyjack continues to lead the way within the industry, providing reliable lift solutions.
