New Skyjack boom for China/Southeast Asia markets
07 July 2026
Skyjack division announces the expansion of its battery-powered rough terrain telescopic boom range with the launch of the new SJ22 TE+, developed specifically for the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets.
Available with a 22m (72ft 2in) working height and suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the new SJ22 TE+ includes a high platform capacity and common features across the range. The all-electric, four-wheel, axle-based drive of the SJ22 TE+ is complemented by the drive system, which uses a high-performance AC induction traction motor and AC pump motor system to optimise torque, power, and speed. Efficient, maintenance-free lithium-ion batteries, paired with straightforward troubleshooting, allow for low lifetime ownership and running costs.

The SJ22 TE+ comes with Skyjack’s Axldrive, which provides superior traction, up to 35% gradeability, and smooth operation in challenging conditions. The Easydrive direction sensing system intuitively allows the boom to move in the general direction of the joystick’s movement related to the way the operator is facing. 360 degree continuous turret rotation, multi-function capability, and an articulating jib with an auto-levelling platform also feature on the unit, along with platform capacities of up to 454kg (1000lbs).
The boom lift is compatible with 220V power supplies and has an 48V system. It is powered by 460Ah lithium-ion batteries paired with an automatic battery charger. Bulk charging of the lithium-ion battery takes less than five hours at 60A, allowing for increased working hours.
“The new SJ22 TE+ and SJ28 TE+ have been designed to meet true jobsite performance expectations, whether it be navigating various rough terrain conditions or lifting the work platform,” added Chan Tran, Skyjack Asia-Pacific vice president of operations. “The Skyjack team understands the importance of maximum uptime, so our equipment is designed to provide just that. All major service points are easily accessible, enabling straightforward troubleshooting and repairs.”
Skyjack machines have easy-to-understand control systems, with on-board diagnostics, large displays, simple language readouts, and load-sensing information, that makes routine maintenance simple, reducing downtime.
Deliveries of the new SJ22 TE+ are scheduled to begin in August 2026 from Skyjack’s facility in Tianjin.
