JET SkyHyker Material Lifts: Combining Power, Safety, and Mobility

Moving heavy materials on the job site is one of the most physically demanding tasks professionals have to deal with, and there is no room for equipment that can't handle the weight. We all know the struggle of a job that demands some serious lifting power without having the right equipment. Understanding this struggle, Jet has released a newly engineered SkyHyker Material Lift powerhouse that is designed to tackle the most challenging tasks with ease.

Whether you're hoisting equipment or transporting materials across a busy construction site, the SkyHyker Material Lift is made to handle the toughest tasks with a focus on safety, mobility, and efficiency.

JET did their research when creating this material lift. It's a well-thought-out solution to common challenges like the Top Tee on competitor material lifts bending easily when the lift is deadheaded or when you're using it to position an off-center load.

If you're interested in why this SkyHyker Material Lift stands out and why it could be a game-changer for contractors, maintenance workers, and any professional tasked with moving and lifting heavy loads, check out its features, benefits, and more in this in-depth overview. 

The SkyHyker Material Lift offers a 33% greater lifting capacity than its competitors and handles up to 2,000 lbs under 20 feet and 1,500 lbs with guy wires over 20 feet. 

This material lift also comes with several different safety features, including a no-freefall worm gear winch and engineered shear pins which help to reduce the risk of accidents and overall operator fatigue.

With their new patent-pending foldable design, professionals can easily move this material lift, even in tight spaces. It also features a heavy-duty steel T-bar construction with dual-speed winches that provide tough durability regardless of the worksite. Along with its modular locking casters, easy maintenance, and high-visibility safety details, the SkyHyker Material Lift is built for safe, efficient, and versatile lifting operations for the most demanding job sites.

If you're looking for extreme raw lifting power, the SkyHyker Material Lift won't be a disappointment because this lift can handle a maximum of 2,000 lbs under 20 feet, which is a 33% greater lifting capacity compared to similar competitor models. 

Let's say you're still worried because you need to extend the mast over 20 feet; as long as the material or equipment isn't above 1,500 lbs, the lift will still support the weight with the use of guy wires, ensuring stability and operator safety at all times.

For more specific tasks, the telescopic load capacity tops out at 1,000 lbs, which is double what most other competitors offer. This means you can take on a wider range of jobs without the hassle of needing to switch equipment, saving you time and money.

Safety should be and is always the number one priority when it comes to lifting equipment. The SkyHyker Material Lift has an integrated no-freefall worm gear winch that ensures that once the load is lifted, it stays still until you, the operator, decide otherwise, reducing the risk of accidents and death. Another important safety feature is the engineered shear pins, which add another layer of protection to the material lift by preventing the lift from moving when under unsafe conditions.

All of these safety features collectively help to prevent work-related injuries, keeping yourself and your crew safe and reducing downtime in the long run. 

The SkyHyker Material Lift's design also minimizes operator fatigue thanks to its smooth operation and ergonomic controls, making it easier to handle during long and exhausting lifts or repetitive tasks.

We all know the trouble that goes into moving heavy equipment from one work site to another or even across the warehouse and the strain it puts on you and your crew, along with the hours of your time it takes up because you have to break it down. This is a big reason that JET made SkyHyker Material Lifts with their patent-pending foldable design. In action, this design helps you pivot seamlessly between work and travel modes without the hassle of disassembling anything or potentially losing parts, making the transition between work sites quick and painless. 

Plus, with a compact design that fits through a standard doorway, the SkyHyker Material Lift offers unparalleled mobility, even in tight spaces. This makes it ideal for indoor projects or sites where space is limited.

Built with a heavy-duty ¼” steel T-bar, the SkyHyker Material Lift is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use on demanding construction sites. The dual variable speed winches allow for total operator control, making sure that you can lift and position materials exactly where you want them.

Another big question that comes along with this assurance of durability is if it has a warranty to back it up. Well, the SkyHyker Material Lift does come with a 2-year Red Assurance warranty. 

Overall, the SkyHyker Material Lift is proudly made in the USA, combining the best of American craftsmanship with global engineering to deliver a product that’s as reliable as it is efficient.

Job sites can get busy, especially when a deadline is approaching, and anything that makes the job easier is what works best. Things change fast, and the SkyHyker Material Lift has shown to have the capabilities to adapt quickly as it comes equipped with modular 6” heavy-duty casters that lock in place, ensuring stability during lifts and easy mobility when you need to move quickly.

Another aspect of heavy-duty lifting equipment that everyone tends to forget about is maintenance, which no one is ever looking forward to, but it must be done to maintain your equipment's integrity. Maintenance with the SkyHyker Material Lift isn't anything to worry about, though, thanks to conveniently located service points that allow for quick access without disassembling the unit.
