Starting in 1986, Skyjack began making scissor lift platforms. They continued this mass production throughout the 1990s and became a global leader in the aerial lift business.

Factors such as their commitment to reliability and quality have been important to Skyjacks solid reputation. They are recognized worldwide as being the maker of the best scissor lifts within the globe. The Skyjack product line is sold and manufactured all around the globe.
Linamar Corporation, known as LNR on the TSX, obtained Skyjack in August 2002. Linamar is best recognized for its production of assemblies, modules and precision-machined components.
