Skyjack started to make scissor lift platforms back in the year 1986. The company continued to manufacture their product throughout the 1990s, becoming a global leader in the aerial lift business. Eventually, Skyjack grew to more than 30% market share overall.

Skyjack was obtained by Linamar Corporation, LNR on the TSX during August the year 2002. Linamar is known for being a leading manufacturer of assemblies, modules and precision-machined components. Linamar's solid balance sheet provides Skyjack with increased strength and long-term stability overall. Skyjack currently has production plants within the USA, Rancho Cucamonga and Hungary with support offices in Europe and Asia.
The company has lots of self-propelled scissor lifts in its lineup, with models which could work at heights up to 56ft. Skyjack became a leader in the industry by providing machinery features which combined durability, serviceability, service and quality, making Skyjack scissor lifts recognized all around the world for product dependability. The company's current Boom lift model lineup consists of telescopic booms. These models provide telescopic booms that feature work heights varying from 45 to 71 feet.

The acquisition of Volvo's Material Handling Equipment business in August the year 2007 complements the products obtained in the acquisition of Carelift Equipment.

These acquisitions provide the company a chance to grow with the additional manufacturing capacity. Skyjack continues to lead the way within the business, providing reliable lift solutions.
