The SJ4726 E offers a maximum working height of 9.65 metres with a capacity of 454kg, with an overall weight of 1,979kg. The lifts have an overall width of 1.2 metres and an overall length of 2.32 metres.The company, a Cat Rental Store, claims that it has an increasingly sustainable fleet with 85 percent of its units now electric.

Zeppelin fleet managerMartin Sebestyén, added: “Skyjack supports us in operating successfully in the market and offering our customers solutions in the field of aerial work platforms that are precisely tailored to their requirements. The fact that a thousand machines have already found their way into our fleet within a short time speaks not only for the excellent cooperation, but also for the quality of the products. This allowed us to supplement our portfolio of working platforms with further electrically driven variants and thus offer our customers an even larger selection of sustainable alternatives. We look forward to continuing the successful partnership!"
