Company Overview
About Skyjack Headquartered in Guelph, Ontario, Canada
There is no more authentically Canadian aerial work platform story than Skyjack's. Founded in Guelph, Ontario in 1985, Skyjack designed and manufactured its first scissor lift in a building that was simultaneously being used to store watermelons - a humble beginning that makes the company's subsequent rise to global prominence all the more remarkable. Today, Skyjack operates a large modern manufacturing facility in Guelph within the Linamar Corporation family, producing scissor lifts and boom lifts that are rented and used on construction sites in more than 90 countries. The company has never moved its manufacturing offshore, and every Skyjack machine bears the mark of Canadian engineering and Canadian craftsmanship.
The SJIII scissor lift series is Skyjack's defining contribution to the global access equipment industry. Engineered around a philosophy of Direct Drive simplicity - eliminating the complex servo valve hydraulic systems used by many competitors in favour of a clean, user-friendly direct drive approach - SJIII machines are renowned for their repairability in the field. Any rental company technician with basic hydraulic and electrical knowledge can diagnose and repair a Skyjack scissor lift without specialized training or dealer-specific scan tools. On Canadian construction sites scattered across the country, from dense urban towers to remote industrial facilities, that simplicity has genuine value every time a machine requires attention far from a service centre.
Skyjack's understanding of Canadian operating conditions is built into the product rather than bolted on as an afterthought. The machines are tested in Canadian winters, calibrated for the humidity ranges and temperature swings that characterize Canadian seasons from coast to coast, and supported by a dealer network that is as comfortable servicing a machine in a Whitehorse mine site as in a Toronto high-rise. The SJ3226 electric scissor has become one of the most ubiquitous pieces of equipment on Canadian interior construction sites, while the SJ46AJ articulating boom lift addresses the outdoor and complex access work that finishers and mechanical trades encounter on mid-rise and large commercial projects.
Skyjack's parent company Linamar is headquartered just blocks away in Guelph, and the two companies share a commitment to manufacturing excellence and Canadian economic contribution. Choosing Skyjack equipment for a Canadian project or rental fleet is a choice that directly supports Canadian jobs, Canadian engineering, and a Canadian company that has been competing successfully against the world's largest equipment manufacturers for four decades.

Why Canada Chooses Skyjack
Skyjack in the Canadian Construction Market
North American-built equipment has always had a natural home in Canadian construction. Skyjack's engineering teams develop machines with the full range of Canadian job site conditions in mind - from coastal British Columbia's wet, clay-heavy soils to the frozen ground of northern Manitoba, the sandy terrain of Southern Ontario aggregate operations, and the remote Arctic sites accessible only by ice road. This continent-native understanding of conditions translates to equipment that simply works in Canada's challenging environments without extensive modification.
The Skyjack dealer network across Canada is one of the most comprehensive in the industry, with authorized service centers in every province offering factory-trained technicians, stocked parts depots, and rapid response support. For large contractors running a Skyjack-dominant fleet, this infrastructure means predictable maintenance costs, fast parts availability, and confidence that manufacturer support is never far away.
The cold-weather capabilities engineered into Skyjack machines - block heaters, battery isolators, cold-grade hydraulic fluids, and heated cab packages - are not optional extras on Canadian worksites; they are standard expectations. Skyjack delivers these as baseline features across most of their line-up, reducing the setup time and outfitting costs that come with less climate-conscious competitors.
Renting Skyjack equipment through HeavyRentals.ca gives you access to owner-maintained machines from across Canada. Our platform's verified owner network means every Skyjack unit listed has been maintained to the standards that protect your production and your crew's safety. Daily, weekly, and monthly rental options give you the flexibility to scale your fleet to project demands - with no long-term capital commitment.

Canadian Job Sites
Where Skyjack Equipment Performs Across Canada
Boreal Forest & Muskeg
Skyjack's ground-pressure management and track engineering keep machines productive where others sink. Northern Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan feature vast boreal forest underlain by muskeg - water-saturated organic soil that challenges conventional equipment.
Rocky Mountain Terrain
BC and Alberta's mountain corridors demand machines capable of operating on steep grades, in confined valleys, and against extremely hard rock. Heavy-duty undercarriage and high ground clearance are prerequisites for mountain work.
Prairies & Agriculture
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta's agricultural plains feature deep clay and loam soils with significant seasonal variation. Spring thaw and fall freeze cycles create dramatically different ground conditions that demand adaptable equipment.
Cold-Weather Readiness
Canada's winters test every piece of machinery. Temperatures in northern and central Canada regularly drop below -30°C, with extreme cold snaps reaching -50°C with windchill in some regions. Skyjack equipment is built to start, operate, and maintain full productivity in these conditions - with hydraulic systems, engine cooling, and electrical systems engineered for extreme cold as a standard expectation, not an afterthought. On HeavyRentals.ca, Canadian Skyjack owners maintain their machines with winter-grade fluids and cold-climate service packages so you get equipment that performs when temperatures plunge.
Regulatory Compliance
Canada's provincial and federal construction regulations set rigorous standards for equipment safety, emissions, and operator protection. Skyjack machines certified for the Canadian market meet Transport Canada, CSA, and provincial WorkSafe regulations out of the factory. This compliance infrastructure gives contractors the confidence to deploy rented equipment on government contracts, municipal projects, and safety-audited job sites without modification or variance requests. When you rent Skyjack through HeavyRentals.ca, you're getting market-certified equipment from verified Canadian owners.

Rental Advantage
Why Rent Skyjack Instead of Buying?
Zero Depreciation
New heavy equipment depreciates 20-30% in its first year. Renting means you pay only for utilization - no balance sheet liability, no residual value risk on your fleet.
Right Machine Every Job
Different projects need different equipment configurations. Renting from HeavyRentals.ca means you can spec the exact Skyjack model for the task - not make do with what you own.
No Maintenance Overhead
When you rent, maintenance is the owner's responsibility. Skip the dealer relationship management, service scheduling, and parts inventory that comes with ownership.
Scale With Your Pipeline
Whether you have one project or twelve running simultaneously, a rental approach scales your fleet instantly - add machines when busy, return them when idle. No fixed costs.
Skyjack Rental for Canadian Projects
Canada's project-based construction economy - driven by short paving and building seasons, annual municipal budget cycles, and the boom-bust nature of resource extraction - is structurally well-suited to equipment rental. Contractors who rent their Skyjack fleet through HeavyRentals.ca maintain the flexibility to scale operations seasonally without the long-term overhead of ownership.
For smaller contractors, municipalities, and first-time operators, renting also provides access to higher-specification Skyjack machines than their capital budget could support through purchase. A tier-one excavator or high-capacity crane that would be unattainable as a purchase becomes an accessible weekly rental for a specific project phase.
Skyjack maintains an established Canadian dealer network through Direct (Guelph ON) + nationwide dealer network, ensuring parts and factory support are available in every major market - adding an additional layer of confidence when renting Skyjack equipment from verified owners on our platform.
