Overview
About the Skyjack SJ12 Vertical Mast Lift
The Skyjack SJ12 is a compact vertical mast lift for one-person access in occupied buildings: 5.65m working height, 3.65m raised platform height, 227kg capacity on a chassis 0.77m wide and 1.37m long. At 782kg it can be taken into places a scissor lift cannot go, and the 0.41m traversing platform lets the operator reach over an obstruction without repositioning the machine. Zero inside turning radius, 30% gradeability, 12.5 m/s wind rating. Compliant with AS/NZS 1418.10:2011.
Where it works
Best-fit jobs and sites
- Lighting, sprinkler and ceiling work in occupied buildings, retail and office maintenance, access where floor loading and doorway width both matter.
Good to confirm: 227kg single-operator machine on firm, level ground. Not for rough terrain or outdoor slopes. An online listing cannot replace a site assessment, so tell us the job and we will confirm suitability.

Dimensions at a glance
The numbers that decide access
- Machine width
- 0.77 m: fits a standard single doorway (~0.82 m clear); measure your narrowest opening
Drawn to scale from this machine's stored specifications. The manufacturer spec sheet (below) governs.
Delivery, access and running
Delivery is quoted by suburb, site access and transport requirements. Tell us the tightest access width on site if the machine must pass through gates, doorways or between structures.
Licence and competency: Vertical mast lift under 11m — no high-risk work licence required in NSW; EWPA Yellow Card accepted competency.
Hire period: Hire runs from delivery or pickup until off-hire is confirmed. Rates are quoted for your dates, suburb and machine together; see our hire terms for responsibilities during the hire.
Pre-start checks, every day
Every Equip Hire machine is function-tested before delivery, and every operator still checks the machine before each shift. This is the baseline we use; the machine's own logbook and check sheet govern.
Walk around
- Tyres, wheels and structure: damage, cracks, leaks
- Scissor stack / boom, pins and hoses: no visible damage or hydraulic leaks
- Decals, capacity plate and rails in place; gates close properly
- Work area: overhead power lines, holes, slopes, other traffic
Power on
- Battery state of charge: enough for the shift
- Ground and platform controls both operate correctly
- Emergency stop and horn work from both stations
Function test
- Raise, lower and drive at low height before working
- Emergency lowering: know where it is and that it works
- Tilt / overload alarms not showing faults
Any fault: tag it out and call us on 0472 721 234. Do not operate a machine with a known fault. Based on manufacturer pre-start requirements and SafeWork NSW guidance.
Before it arrives
- Measure the route, not the door. Every gate, corridor and lift on the way to the work area: handles, hinges, bollards and stored materials all eat clearance.
- Confirm the floor. Ground-bearing slab is fine; suspended slabs, mezzanines and raised floors need the wheel loads checked against the floor rating.
- Clear the work zone. Overhead services, sprinkler heads and light fittings at working height; exclusion for people below.
- Delivery space. Room for the truck to stop and unload safely. Tell us about docks, driveways and height limits when you book.
- Power point. A live outlet near overnight parking, so every day starts charged.
Mistakes we see weekly
- Booking on ceiling height instead of the actual task height. Measure to the work, then add nothing "just in case".
- Quoting the nominal door size instead of the clear opening. An 820 mm door leaf are not 820 mm once the door stop is counted.
- Assuming the machine can cross "a bit of lawn". Wheeled machines rut turf and bog in soft ground; say so and we'll send tracks.
- Leaving induction and permit requirements to delivery morning. Shopping centres and managed sites need paperwork before the truck arrives.
