1.1 Read and Heed
SKYJACK is continuously improving and expanding
product features on its equipment, therefore,
specifications and dimensions are subject to change
without notice.
1.1-1 Telehandler Definition
A material handler designed primarily as a fork truck
with a pivoting teloscopic boom which enables it
to pick up and place loads at distances as well as
various lift heights.
1.1-2 Purpose of Equipment
The SKYJACK telehandlers are designed to lift, handle
and transport agricultural or industrial products by
means of specific attachments.
1.1-3 Use of Equipment

work station. Lifting, handling and driving must be on
a flat, level, compacted surface. It can be driven over

considered a fundamental part of the telehandler. It
is a very important way to communicate necessary
safety information to users and operators. A complete
and legible copy of this manual must be kept in the
provided weather-resistant storage compartment on
the telehandler at all times.
Service & Maintenance: The purpose of this manual
is to provide the customer with the servicing and
maintenance procedures essential for the promotion
of proper machine operation for its intended purpose.
All information in this manual should be read and
understood before any attempt is made to service the
machine. The updated copy of the manuals are found
on the company’s website: www.skyjack.com.

In addition, all products have a 5 year structural
warranty. Contact the SKYJACK Service Department
