Skyjack, part of the Linamar Group (TSX:LNR), and its customer PT Natraco TunasCitra, a material handling and aerial work platform company based in Bandung, Indonesia, have teamed up to perform a month-long cleaning operation at Hyundai’s automotive production base in Indonesia, where their equipment has been instrumental in the successful completion of the work.
PT Natraco’s manager, Andika Liga, said, “When the subcontractor asked for machines that could provide precise operation, be easy to use, reach all parts of the building, and have minimal maintenance requirements both indoors and outdoors, we immediately recommended Skyjack’s electric scissor lifts and telescopic boom lifts.”
The Skyjack models working on site include the SJ86T and SJ4740, which have been instrumental in cleaning external signs and other tasks. The SJ86T offers industry-leading horizontal reach and span capabilities, with a working height of 92’ (28.04 m).
The machine utilizes a four-wheel drive axle drive system for excellent traction, suitable for various terrains. Like other Skyjack boom lifts, the SJ86T features EASYDRIVE™, a direction-sensing drive and steering control system that eliminates the need to identify the direction of travel through color-coded arrows on the joystick.
The SJ4740 has a working height of 44’11” (13.69 m), maintains high maneuverability in tight work sites, and achieves zero emissions. Additionally, this equipment is equipped with a hole protection system, load-sensing system, emergency descent trigger, and CAN bus smart charger, which can select temperature compensation methods and profiles for different battery types.
Skyjack’s regional sales manager, Ivan Huan, said, “Skyjack products are an ideal choice for various types of large-scale cleaning work in Hyundai’s automotive buildings. The design of our models takes into account simplicity and reliability, providing the rental industry with the best lifecycle value through lower ownership costs, higher residual value retention, and easy maintenance.”
Indonesia’s Hyundai automotive building is under construction and requires both internal and external cleaning services. Skyjack equipment will be needed on site for several more weeks.
