When it comes to jobsite material lifts, contractors are all too familiar with the common issues that come with lifting heavy objects into place — safety, efficiency, and ease of use. These challenges can often make a difficult job even harder. Enter the all-new JET SkyHyker 25ft. 2,000lb Capacity Jobsite Lift (JT1-595), a mobile material lift that has been meticulously engineered to tackle the most demanding tasks and excel where others fall short.
The SkyHyker is not just another lift in the market; it is a significant innovation in the material lift landscape. Featuring dual-speed load winches and two winches for smooth, independent vertical adjustments of both the load and mast elevation, the SkyHyker has clearly taken a close look at the tried-and-true Sumner Roust-A-Bout, which has been a market staple for decades.
The SkyHyker then asked, “What are people’s frustrations, and how can this design be improved?” The result is a patent-pending foldable design that allows for quick, one-time setup and easy transition to travel mode without any disassembly required. This feature is perfect for contractors who need to quickly move between tasks or job sites. The widespread casters are another thoughtful addition, easily moving in for transportation and locking out for lifting, ensuring a sturdy base that can navigate areas as narrow as a standard doorway without added hassle.
Similar to the Sumner Roust-A-Bout R-250, the SkyHyker is designed for single-person operation, making it ideal for lifting and positioning heavy loads with ease. With its impressive 2,000-pound load capacity, the SkyHyker is built to handle some of the heaviest materials on any jobsite. Its innovative design also includes a three-piece telescoping, collapsible mast with integrated guy-wire stabilizers, expandable legs, and balanced engineered rigging points that provide secure lifting and transport. With a telescoping capability of up to 1,000 pounds, the SkyHyker doubles the lifting power of its competitors and offers up to 25 feet of lift.
JET has clearly prioritized safety in the design of the SkyHyker. The lift includes a reinforced T-bar design to maximize strength and stability, and an integrated no-freefall worm gear winch to prevent accidental drops and damage. Additional safety features include a modified and restricted lifting position, a self-latching safety hook, enhanced ergonomics, and high-visibility accents — all designed to keep operators safe and secure during use.
The SkyHyker lift is proudly made in the USA and is backed by JET’s 2-year manufacturer warranty, a testament to its quality and durability. In the rare event that maintenance is needed, the strategically located service points make access and repairs easier than ever, ensuring minimal downtime on the job.
Launching at $7,999.99, the JET SkyHyker is already catching attention in the industry and is available for order now at Ohio Power Tool. Whether you’re lifting heavy loads or reaching new heights, this lift could be the next great addition to your job site, enhancing both safety and efficiency.
